  Sweden here we only get 5 weeks vacay. 480 days parental leave though.

    People in America and Japan… “‘only’ 5 weeks?!”

    So a Mormon couple could get a paycheck without ever working for 30 years?

      You generally (it depends by country) don’t get paid anymore between 6 and 12 months. But you still have a job. So when they get tired of using her womb like clown car, they could back to work. Also is usually (again varies by country) shared parental leave. So between both parents up to the maximum allowance.

        That’s a good point, but for Sweden, it is indeed 480 paid days. It’s a government calculation related to your income and there is a point (after 390 days) where it drops to the minimum payout, but it still paid leave.

        There are also government-mandated options in Sweden to receive a slightly lower pay in exchange for working fewer hours. I don’t have the exact details here, but it’s something like 75% pay for 75% hours.

        Pretty incredible coverage for new parents in that specific country.

    So, 5 weeks more than we get! That sounds amazing!

    Canadian here. I signed a contract with 4weeks of vacation that was changed to ‘unlimited’ this year. So far I’ve taken 5 weeks and have a 6th week approved in November.

    I haven’t used any sick days but they’re unlimited. If you take more than 3 in a row, you need a doctors note.

    15 weeks parental leave that can be split between partners (father can use none/some/all to look after child while mother goes back to work)

    My state now has mandatory parental leave, about a year after me and my wife had decided that we didn’t want more kids. Oh well. At least people in the future will benefit.

      At least youre not the type to try to stop something because you missed the window on benefitting from it

        Even if I were it wouldn’t apply in this case. Having a society with programs like this in place helps everyone even indirectly. I am fine with greed as long as it goes beyond basic right in front of you.

        We all benefit from a better world. Sure some more than others but all at least some.

  • RojoSanIchiban@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Or hyperbole, apparently :(

    Four weeks, two months, whatever, they’re both still infinitely more than Americans are guaranteed, which is zero.
