    Country Report 2018: Sweden
    (2018) Vamstad, Johan
    There are no requirements to register POs in Sweden; anyone is free to start any kind of organization at any time. Organizations can choose to register with the tax authorities in order to receive an organization number that allows them to be recognized as a legal entity in relation to authorities, other organizations, and individuals. The application is performed on a one-page form found on the tax authority website or at their offices. A short written by-law and a protocol from the founding meeting should be attached to the application (Skatteverket, 2016). The registration process take, on average, two weeks from the day the form is mailed in.

    “It’s About Time!”: Company Support for Fathers’ Entitlement to Reduced Work Hours in Sweden
    (Oxford, 2016) Haas, Linda; Hwang, C. Philip; Department of Sociology, School of Liberal Arts
    Fifteen nations offer fathers the right to reduce work hours to care for children. Incorporating a gender perspective, this study uses a mixed-methods approach to examine the implementation of this policy in the first nation to offer it, Sweden. It investigates whether the institutional and cultural environment exerts pressure on companies to facilitate fathers' hours reduction, companies' levels of support for fathers' use of this entitlement and correlates of company support. The persistence of the “male model of work” appears to be an important barrier to implementation of a policy that offers promise in offering fathers time to care.
