Parental leave suggests leave for more than just the mother and is in fact what you explicitly said "provided parental leave for both parents when a child is born". Which seems valuable for many reasons. But I would be interested

Your arguments don't seem to be backed by data, or any kind of objective logical reasoning. So I would agree.

But unless you post data or link to a study things just devolve into anecdotal arguments and there doesn't seem to be any way to move forward (and no point in commenting). I can't see any logical reason to agree with your standpoi
