Generally europe has much better maternity/paternity leave than the US. In the UK you get 39 paid weeks of maternity leave. The first 6 are at 90% of your salary, the rest is much lower (depending on your salary) but you still get paid

Firstly, most younger people do not buy property, they simply rent. Secondly, you share with more people. In the article they reference a single bedroom flat at min £1000 a month which is about right. But that's the most expensive way
