This is what The Swedish Part Model (a collaboration between trade unions and employers) is demonstrating with a good dose of humour in this video.

Six-month paternity leave? Personal trainer paid for by your work allowance as a preventive healcare measure? Six weeks of holidays per year? If “like a swede” was a real trend, I wish it would overtake the world.
