Now prepare for a heart attack - also paternity leave. (It is usually less however)

It should absolutely be guaranteed in the US, too.

26 weeks paid + 26 weeks unpaid here in New Zealand. link
Currently on maternity leave here in Canada. It’s 17 weeks of maternity leave but then followed by parental leave that can be taken by you or split with your spouse for the rest of the year. It’s only 30% of my regular salary but it’s something. I also have the option to reduce payments and spread them out over 18 months.
It’s 2 years where I live, with an option of a third, but with reduced pay. Just FYI. Demand more from your politicians.
Edit: Just checked, actually less than 2 years at full pay, 65 weeks but still…
Idk why companies don’t implement Long paternity leaves followed by an optional switch to a WFH role where they can spend more time with their family. It’d boost morale and increase quality of work …
And politicians wonder why they have to try and force people to have kids. Nobody can fucking afford them, let alone daycare or even get time off to take care of them themselves.
Also paternity, I got 2 weeks in the UK which is minimum, but I have friends in the UK who got as much as their partner if they want to take it!
This is old and/or incorrect. Sweden should really be included, since we have 480 (~70 weeks) days of paid leave for one child. Finland and Denmark has 50 weeks, and Norway has 59.
In a household with two parents you get 240 days each, and if you’re a single household you get all 480 days.
