In his photo series Swedish Dads, Johan Bävman documents men who take advantage of Sweden’s comparatively generous paternity-leave legislation to spend more time with their babies than the average father.

“The current system allows parents to stay at home with their child for 480 days in total,” says Bävman, “whilst receiving an allowance from the state.

“Out of these 480 days, 60 must be taken by the father or else are lost.”

In spite of the generous allowance and bonus, Bävman says that only 12% of Swedish fathers share the 480 days of parental leave equally with their partners.
