"In Sweden, citizens are entitled to full leave when a child is born. Parental benefits are paid for a total of 480 days, or about 16 months, per child. Out of this amount, compensation for 390 days is calculated based on a person's full income. As for the remaining 90 days, individuals receive a fixed amount of 180 kronor (US$17) per day."

Another benefit for parents in Sweden is that they can also get a reduction in working hours until their child is 8 years old. Meanwhile, government employees can get a reduction in working hours until their child is 12 years old.
