1. A government actually trying to help its people. What a concept.

2. Very cool!

3. This is a very practical solution, considering the parents get 480 days, more than enough to concede to the grandparents. Nice!

   This is how you promote birth rates in a community, not by forcing people,but by helping them when they do make the voluntary decision to become parents.

4. This might actually be a good answer for places like Japan and Korea. Even all over the world.

5. I thought this was already a thing. As far as I know, your neighbor can use some of your parental leave to watch your kids.

   Am not a parent though, and might misremember.

   Oh, it might be the leave from work, not the pay, I’m thinking of.
