How many weeks of paid maternity leave provided by various countries?

Canado 50

Norway 44

A minor correction:

The maternity leave regulations in Norway have two different time
periods to be choosen from:

a) 44 weeks with 100% of regular wages, OR
b) 54 weeks with 80% of regular wages.

As per january 2013, the maximum annual maternity leave payment provided
by the public social welfare system in Norway is limited to NOK 492,732
(equal to approx. US$ 91,250).

I think it's perfectly acceptable for the taxpayers in Norway to pay for a new momma to stay home
and care for a child. After all, why should the parents be responsible.

You said "taxpayers in Norway", but haven't yet mentioned that you
americans, especially you on the east coast, are partially contributing
to public social welfare in Norway too... ;-

So..., go figure... ;-
