Just seen that Buzzfeed have published an article on why Sweden is so great 
These are the reasons they give are:
Parental leave
Free education
Paid education
5 weeks paid vacation
Sick children care
Health care
Child-allowance
Work 40 hours a week
Surrounded by good-looking people
Swedish FIKA
While some are pretty valid (I'm so jealous of free education!), the surrounded by good looking people is a little silly
Most of these are the reasons why I moved to Sweden to take advantage of my dual citizenship!

I'm a mother of a 14 month old boy and let me tell you - the parental leave is great. I was home for 11 months fulltime, with his father being home with us on mondays. Then we were home together for 6 weeks. Then his father took over full time and will be home until our son is 1,5 years old. It's been great.
And about the 40 hour week - is that a good thing?! *Looking at Norway*
