Today it is a new format: I will leave the floor to three dads so they can share their own experience on paternity leave. Emotion guaranteed! Parental leave is 480 days in Sweden, which are more and more shared equally between both parents. It is well paid and during this first year there is no real childcare. On the opposite, afterwards the costs of pre-school is very limited. Also, the tax system in Sweden is individual (not based on the household revenue) encouraging the parent with low income to remain active. All those measures are good incentives for both mums & dads to take the parental leave but to go back to work afterwards as well. You will also learn that there are domestic classes in high school, where all boys and girls learn how to cook, bake, clean, iron, sewe and make errands. Most of you, listening mums & dads probably did not get the chance of having such a long and equally shared leave. My husband & I certainly did not, but we still feel we fully enjoyed our babies and still spend a lot of quality time with them.However, the parental leave set up in Sweden feels right, much more natural, fair for both parents and more profitable for kids and society as a whole.

I have been willing to make an episode on paternity leave for a longtime, looking around for the right person to meet! That was until I discovered Johan'sexhibit called Swedish Dads. Johan Bävman is a photographer and has won several awards, including the World Press Photo, Sony Award, UNICEF PhotoAward. His series Swedish Dads had a tremendous impact and has been published/shared widely all over the world.Together we will speak about paternity leave. A topic that is a lot less anecdotal than one might think at first sight. It is even a critical step to gender equality, but beyond that, it is a major milestone to a cultural mindshit that is key to rethink masculinity and reinvent a system around a wider set of values, changing from our current patriarchal software to a more modern and caring culture.

Since devising his own independent photography curriculum in high school, Johan Bävman (http://www.johanbavman.se) 's passion for image making led him to the Nordic School of Photography, a coveted spot on the Moment Agency (https://momentagency.com/) roster, and a full-time staff position in editorial photography with Sydsvenskan, one of Sweden's largest newspapers. Now 100% independent, Johan splits his time between client assignments, personal projects and gallery work. When he needs a needed break from photography and family life, Johan restores vintage motorcycles at Odd Luck Garage (https://www.instagram.com/oddluckgarage) , a collaboration with 13 other fathers. Johan is dad to two sons: ages 8 & 4. In this episode, Johan talks about the myriad roles photography's played in his life and career: as a connection to his grandfather, an invitation to embed himself in other cultures, a narrative device for storytelling, and as solution for his dyslexia—allowing him to express himself without the burden of the written word. Johan also talks at length about Swedish Dads (http://www.johanbavman.se/swedish-dads/) , a collection of photographs he self-published in 2016 documenting 45 Swedish men who took advantage of the country's generous parental leave system. Capturing the mundane, beautiful and often lonesome moments of fatherhood, the images, book and exhibit continues to help change policy, shift cultural attitudes, and advocate for gender equality and the rights of women and children. His photographs are currently on exhibit at Chicago's Swedish American Museum (http://swedishamericanmuseum.org/2.0/special-exhibits/) now through November.

Is it possible that by building better and more practical parental leave policies into corporate policies that we can raise more confident, balanced and engaged children and address some of the major disparities in gender equality at the same time? That is the possibility being considered as a result of Yohan Bavman's photographic insight into Swedish Dads on Parental leave. Big thanks to Parents at Work for bringing this discussion to the fore and to businesses that have supported these discussions.
