It should absolutely be guaranteed in the US, too.
But good luck getting any law to pass that gives it. It'll turn into rage over increased taxes to cover it, and it'll fall apart. (Meanwhile, more tax cuts for rich folks)
This is old and/or incorrect. Sweden should really be included, since we have 480 (~70 weeks) days of paid leave for one child. Finland and Denmark has 50 weeks, and Norway has 59.
In a household with two parents you get 240 days each, and if you're a single household you get all 480 days.
Idk why companies don't implement Long paternity leaves followed by an optional switch to a WFH role where they can spend more time with their family. It'd boost morale and increase quality of work ...
And politicians wonder why they have to try and force people to have kids. Nobody can fucking afford them, let alone daycare or even get time off to take care of them themselves.
Also paternity, I got 2 weeks in the UK which is minimum, but I have friends in the UK who got as much as their partner if they want to take it!
It's 2 years where I live, with an option of a third, but with reduced pay. Just FYI. Demand more from your politicians.
Edit: Just checked, actually less than 2 years at full pay, 65 weeks but still...
