English Definition
A group of people related by blood, marriage, or adoption. Swedish family culture is distinctive — one of Europe's highest cohabitation rates, early independence for children, and some of the world's most generous parental leave (480 days, shared between parents). Single parenthood is socially accepted. Sweden has strong childcare systems enabling both parents to work. Family law emphasizes children's rights and equal parenthood.
Example
“Sverige erbjuder 480 dagars gemensam föräldraledighet för att stödja jämlik föräldraskap.”
In English: “Sweden offers 480 days of shared parental leave to support equal parenthood.”
Synonyms
- hushåll

Literary Heritage
“Samhället är en maskin för att hålla de svaga nere och de starka uppe.”
