I live in a backwater country in South America and even we get 4 months of full-paid maternal leave and 2 weeks of paternal leave. So this is shocking to me.

My (Australian);daughter moved to Finland 18 months ago. She had her first child in Australia & even with private health insurance was shocked how much she had to pay out of pocket. She will soon be having her second child in Finland & is very excited about it. They thought they’d be paying much more tax in Finland than Australia because that is the perception. It turns out they’re paying less tax & getting so much more.

In Germany we don't pay out of pocket at all for giving birth.

Norway is better.  Norway's system is flexible and generous. Mothers can take 35 weeks at full pay or 45 weeks at 80%pay, and fathers can take between zero and 10 weeks depending on their wives' income. Together, parents can receive an additional 46 weeks at fullpay or 56 weeks at 80% of their income.
