It's not just Estonia. I've heard that in England the mother gets 1 year (fully) paid leave. Same with Sweden and Germany. In Sweden it might even be two years (but my memory is failing me).
I would be willing to bet that at least a full year of paid maternity leave is quite standard in northern Europe.
Some countries (the Netherlands, for instance) even pay their citizens to have children.
- run4yourlives 17y ago1 year maternity leave is pretty much the standard globally for established countries, just like state run healthcare. It's the US that is different here.
