SWEDEN: LEAVE IT TO DADDY!
Stay-at-home dads: although most modern men talk the talk, they hardly ever walk the walk – except in Sweden. Incentives are higher there than in most other places, with laws and bonus payments attracting young men to stay at home and take care of their kids. However, even in Sweden, only 14% of all couples evenly split the subsidized 480 days they are allowed to stay at home after the birth of a child.
Swedish photographer Johan Bävman accompanied those men who decided to stay at home from work for at least 6 months in order to, as Bävmann says, animate other dads to do the same and care for their babies. And as you can see – it works!
