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... ;-

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.

Before you get too far in over your head Donnie, have a gander at this.
Is your role the peg or the hole today?
