Satu and I discussed the life of a working mother in Iceland.
Parental leave in Finland and Iceland are different. It appears
that Iceland has one of the most advantaged policies on maternal
care than any other country. Women get 3 months paid leave, partner
gets 3 month paid leave that 90% of the men take.
You cannot move this to your partner/, use it or loose it.
Women stay home for another few months around 9 before their child
start childcare so that mother can return to work. There is full
employment in Iceland and women are not rejected in workplace as
men get to take the parental leave as well.
Icelandic people are more positive and looking up to their
country on how good they are on something when I asked differences
between us Finns and Icelandic people. More in https://www.thenordicmum.com/all-things-iceland-2/
