The Committee notes the information contained in the Government's report in answer to its previous direct request.

In respect of Article 10, paragraph 2 of the Convention the Committee notes with particular interest the adoption of legislation on compensation and leave of absence for the care of next-of-kin, which entered into force on 1 July 1989 (SFS 1988:1465) and which assists workers in being able to engage in employment without conflict between their employment and family responsibilities toward members of the immediate family, other than dependent children, who clearly need care or support. The Committee would be glad if the Government would supply, in future reports, information on the application of this law in practice.

The Committee also notes with interest the expansion of parental insurance including the increase in compensation for temporary parents' allowance and the extension of the benefit period for temporary parents' allowance and parents' allowance. The Committee hopes the Government will continue to keep it informed of the implementation of future measures contemplated in this area.
