Magnus Bjerhag, 37, rests with his new child. "I believe it's easier to be home with a child in this kind of neighborhood that we live in. Almost all the fathers are home with their children," he told Bavman. "Apart from that, I work in an industry and in a company that is quite young and supportive, with a lot of female managers."

Fredric Janson, 34, and his partner split their parental leave 50/50 after they had their son Ossian. "Since we took turns being on leave and working from the outset of our parenthood, parental leave never felt boring or unstimulating," he told Bavman. They spent the first four months at home together and then split up the rest of the leave, alternating time at home.
