Norwegian government has a list of benefits for parents to raise families there. Among others: Fifty-three weeks of maternity leave at 80 percent pay with a guaranteed job to return to, five weeks (legislation has been introduced to raise it to 10 weeks) of paid paternity leave, a national standard of five weeks of vacation, extensive day-care options, a 37.5-hour workweek, and even an extra government grant should one of the parents decide to stay at home with the child from age 1 to 2. Young families do not have to choose between having a career and having children. They can have both.
