What is the welfare system in Sweden?
There are six main categories of social welfare insurance: 1. Child protection: Sweden's national social security stipulates maternity leave, and both parents are entitled to childcare allowance. From the day the baby is born, both parents have the right to take care of the child for 480 days. Among them, parents must take 60 days off to take care of their children. In addition, both parents are free to arrange maternity leave. The salary for 390 days before maternity leave is paid by the national social security, which is generally about 80% of the salary of parents who take care of their children at home, with a maximum of 403,000 kronor (about 403,000 RMB) per year. And you can get at least 180 kronor (180 RMB) every day when you are on vacation, for a total of 480 days. The maximum parental allowance can reach 284,200 Swedish kronor (about 284,200 RMB). . Moreover, every child aged 1 to 16 can receive about 1050 kronor (about 1050 RMB) every month. Children's allowance, parents have the right to take time off to take care of sick children, and each child has a maximum of 60 days, and the national social security bears 80% of the salary. 2. Education guarantee: Sweden implements free quality education (from primary schools, middle schools, universities, graduate students to doctors), but it is said that tuition fees will be charged from 20 1 1, and students in grades one to nine can enjoy free lunches and shuttle buses at school. /kloc-high school students aged 0/6-20 can get a student allowance of about 2,000 kronor (about 2,000 RMB) per month, and students who leave school more than 6,000 meters can get a transportation allowance. College students can get grants and low-interest study loans every month, and the government encourages people to continue their studies. This kind of loan is called "glorious loan" by Swedes. College students pay 7,500 kronor (7,500 RMB) every month during their school days, of which 2,500 kronor (2,500 RMB) is not repaid as a grant, and the rest is paid off year by year after work. No matter how much money you borrow at school, you should use 4% of your annual income to repay the loan after work. If you stay in school for a long time, you may never be able to pay back the money, because you won't have to pay back any government loans after you are 65. Sweden also has a lot of adult education, which is not only free, but also subsidizes the living expenses of about 5,000 kronor (5,000 RMB) every month. Foreign immigrants can also participate in free language learning (after arriving in Sweden, they only need to get the ID number with Swedish slogans) and other practical courses. 3. Medical care and sick leave protection: people can not only enjoy almost free treatment during their illness, but also receive 80% sick leave subsidy from the second day of sick leave; Everyone will get a national medical card for the first time to see a doctor, which indicates the previous medical expenses.

If the total drug cost exceeds 1080 kronor (1080 RMB) within one year, you can enjoy free drugs. Other expenses, such as examination fees, treatment fees, hospitalization fees, and even the travel expenses to and from hospitals or clinics under special circumstances are free. If you can't work normally due to illness, you can also enjoy sick leave allowance to make up for the loss of income caused by illness, which is equivalent to 80% of normal income. 4. Unemployment relief guarantee: the unemployed receive 80% unemployment relief from the state from the sixth day of unemployment; The government will provide the unemployed with a minimum subsidy of 13000 kronor (about 13000 RMB) and a maximum subsidy of 20400 kronor (about 20400 RMB). If their per capita income does not reach 13000 kronor (about 13000 RMB), the government will also make up for it. 5. Housing security: This is mainly a kind of social security provided to low-income families with children and low-income retirees. According to income, families without children can get about 1 000 kronor (about 1 000 RMB) per month. A family with one child can get a housing subsidy of about 2,500 kroner per month. Families with two children can receive 3 175 kronor (about 3 175 RMB); Families with three children can receive 3900 kronor (about 3900 RMB). 6. Old-age security, all people in the country can receive the minimum pension after reaching the age of 65, regardless of whether they have worked or not. After retirement, you will get a pension. The pension consists of two parts: one part is the basic payment part with a minimum guarantee of 22,000 kronor (about 22,000 RMB), and the other part is the additional payment part. The basic salary is the same, while the supplementary salary embodies the principle of more work and more pay. For example, under normal tax payment, the contract between the two pensions is 40,000 kronor (about 40,000 RMB) per month. People who retire in Sweden can enjoy many benefits and conveniences. For example, you can enjoy preferential discounts when you enter public places or take transportation; There is a person in charge of three meals a day and daily life in the nursing home; For the elderly with mobility difficulties, a full-time nurse can be found on-site by one phone call, and the expenses will be borne by the government. If the old people who stay at home are sick, their relatives and even friends can have two months' paid vacation every year to take care of them. If they need long-term care, they can get some subsidies from the social security department. Foreigners and international students living in Sweden (visa 1 year or above) enjoy the same social welfare treatment as Swedes.
