That's actually better than Germany. Parental leave in Germany is 14 months for both parents together, with the additional restriction that each parent can only take 12 months maximum. In practice, most mothers take 12 months off and most fathers take the other 2 months off. I've seen other setups though, like both parents taking 7 months off each.
