For reference, in Sweden: * Father gets 10 days of "just had a baby" paid leave, at ~80% of normal pay * 480 days of paid leave. Of these,390 are at ~80% pay, and 90 are at a fixed (low) compensation. * Of the 480 days, 60 are reserved for each parent, non-transferable. * Each parent is allowed by law to work 75% of full time until child turns 7, employer cannot refuse. * If you adopt, you have basically the same benefits as after a birth. In all cases "paid" means paid by the government, i.e. taxes. The ~80% has a maximum, so you get at most ~80% of ~35000 SEK per month.
