These countries offer generous benefits for parents, making it easier for working mothers and fathers to balance work and family.
Norwegian policymakers wanted to promote gender equality not just in the workplace, but at home too.
The country was the first in the world to establish a quota for paternity leave. The policy works on a use-it-or-lose-it basis, under which fathers are granted 10 weeks of leave after the birth of a new baby.
Three weeks before the birth and six weeks after the birth are reserved for mothers. Combined, Norwegian parents may take a total of 46 weeks of leave at 100% pay or 56 weeks at 80% pay.
The government also subsidizes public daycare facilities.
