Some people referred to household employments of older days.

The Housemaid Debate [1] or Maid Debate (Шаблон:Lang-sv) is a political discussion in Sweden, which began on 18 July 1993 when Swedish economist Anne-Marie Pålsson proposed tax deductions for household services.[2][3]

Many right-wing politicians supported the proposal, meaning it would reduce unreported employment. Many left-wing politicians instead expressed negative thoughts, meaning it would increase social class gaps using parallels to the time before the 1970s when many girls were employed to live-in and work for wealthier families. The discussion has later reappeared, especially during elections in Sweden.[4]

Tax deductions, so called RUT deductions for household services, were introduced in Sweden on 1 July 2007,[5] during the centre-right Reinfeldt cabinet.
