Social legislation package: Prime Minister Per Albin Hansson’s government enacted indexed pensions, child allowances, maternity support, housing loans, and regulation of farm labor — the largest social reform package of the interwar period.

In the chronology of the Swedish model, this anchors 1937 under Per Albin Hansson as a year shaped by institutions, public conflict, reform, or security policy rather than cabinet arithmetic alone.

Source confidence is B: the basic event is promoted, while broader interpretation still depends on the cited source tier and later primary-source upgrades.
