Congress after the S Congress was characterized by fighting on parental leave must be shared between the parents. Two years ago, the party stated that it would work for a third Daddy month, which the government is now putting proposals for, and then eventually work for a “smoother withdrawal”.

It was a message that many thought was too vague and therefore it has continued to operate it shall be written in that it is an individualization of the term that applies. So that parental leave is tied in equal parts to the child’s mother or father.

“Important feminist victory”

Aftonbladet could earlier today reveal that the longstanding requirement was about to go through – Stefan Löfvens Second Congress as S-leaders. Lateral organizations S-women and S students and party districts like the City of Stockholm and Gothenburg to have endorsed the claim.

During the afternoon, it was clear that this was also the case – the party endorses the requirement and writing now becomes individualized parental insurance in the long run.

– What is new is that clearly states that individualization is the goal. There is a tightening compared to what was said earlier with “a more even use”. However, it is not timed when it should be implemented, says Minister for Social Annika Strandhäll (S).

S-students: “We have good chances”

She does not want to predict when demand for a completely individualized insurance can be reality.

Students have driven the demand for individualisation long. The Chair Talla Alkurdi am happy writing that the delegates will vote on tomorrow and says that it is an important feminist reform for a more equal working life.

– We are many who have been involved and wanted to see an individualized parental long. If not more than S-students had wanted it, well then we had once had a congress where we do not take a position on an individualized parental insurance, she said.

How many agents are expected to vote for the change scales she does not say.

– But I think we have good chances.
