If you want to support ordinary families, even those who have it toughest, child allowance is very effective, says the party's economic policy spokesperson Mikael Damberg.
Sweden is the only country in the Nordic region that has not raised child allowance during the cost crisis, he adds and wonders why the government and the support party Sweden Democrats have chosen to refrain from raising it.
The Social Democrats want, in addition to raised child allowance, to see targeted initiatives for those who have the hardest time making ends meet instead of tax cuts for people who are already relatively well-off.
The Centre Party's economic policy spokesperson Martin Ådahl, thinks he sees a paralyzed government looking forward to better times when no one else does.
"It is not enough to talk about and hope for growth, you must also pursue a policy that helps both households and businesses to turn the crisis around.", writes Ådahl in a comment.
