There are lots of ways that Swedes are supported financially by tax money.\u00a0 From birth to age 16 families are given 1050:- per child per month with the intention of evening out class differences.\u00a0 No family should be able to say that they can’t afford winter boots or iceskates for their children.\u00a0 As the number of children increases, an added subsidy is given in addition to the 1050:- per child.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Teenagers aged 14-16 are guaranteed summer work within the municipality for at least 3 weeks, doing community work, such as working in parks, picking up litter, playing music in the town squares, etc.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Students at university or college can apply for studiebidrag based on enrolment and attendance.\u00a0 This money is to help pay for books.<\/p>\n
