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.
