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

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... ;-

Well, you americans and canadians are actually sending loads of money to
Norway - sort of...

As some of you may know, a substantial part of the income to the
Norwegian state budget is from exporting crude oil and natural liquid
gas.

Currently, around 15-20% of the total annual production of crude oil in
Norway is exported to refineries on the east coast of USA and Canada, so
whenever you on the east coast of North-America is buying your gallons
of gasoline for whatever purpose, it's possible that some of that
gasoline origin from crude oil exported from Norway...

And as a certain portion of the Norwegian oil companies income end up in
the big pot called "state budget", that's why one - sort of - can say
that you in North-America is contributing to the social welfare system
in Norway.....

US taxpayers are partially contributing to social welfare all over the world!




But, if you'd care to expand on your statement, I'd be gladly enlightened.

maybe you'd like to enlighten us, johnny.


How does the US do this... do they send bucket loads of money to


Norway for social programs?


I'd like to see Canada get in on this gravy train.. I'd love for you


to dig in your pockets and lighten my tax load.






Well, you americans and canadians are actually sending loads of money to

Norway - sort of...



As some of you may know, a substantial part of the income to the

Norwegian state budget is from exporting crude oil and natural liquid

gas.



Currently, around 15-20% of the total annual production of crude oil in

Norway is exported to refineries on the east coast of USA and Canada, so

whenever you on the east coast of North-America is buying your gallons

of gasoline for whatever purpose, it's possible that some of that

gasoline origin from crude oil exported from Norway...



And as a certain portion of the Norwegian oil companies income end up in

the big pot called "state budget", that's why one - sort of - can say

that you in North-America is contributing to the social welfare system

in Norway.....

If you put it that way, 'mericans contribute go our social programs also.
They are the biggest customers for our natural gas, oil, hydro electricity etc.
BTW..wife's father came from Norway during WW2. Would she be eligible for any of the benefits of Norwegian riches?


As I said.
