 Due to this affordability, less than 200 children in the entire country of Sweden under the age of 1 are placed in child care.Stratification in the educational system is further diminished by providing all Swedish citizens and legal residents with the option of choosing which school they want their children to be placed in, regardless of what neighborhood they reside in or what property taxes they pay.Additionally, the Swedish government not only provides its citizens with a free college education, but also with an actual monthly allowance for attending school and college.
