Norwegians spent more
time with their children
Norwegian parents spend on average 40 hours a week together with their children, according to a survey carried out by Eurofound, quoted by Norwegian Christians daily, Vaart Land.
The survey ranks Norwegian parents at the top of this European ranking, ahead of the Netherlands in second place, with just under 34 hours.
Denmark ranks fifth with 16,5 hour, while Finland and Sweden are way down with only 14 and 13 hours respectively.
Experts believe some of the reasons for Norway's high ranking are Europe's shortest average working week, coupled with legal rights to leave at birth and during children's sickness for both men and women.
