[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know why they're weeding it down. In 2015, 880K women took the parental bonus. 170K men In 2022, 1.4 million women took the parental bonus. 400K men. Germany has a population of 50 million people between the ages of 20 and 66 today. So basically...4% of their population is on permanent vacation at a cost of 5.6 billion euros year-round (estimating a 40K salary per parent). [/quote] Surely there must be some better solution between what you describe and what we have—or more specifically, don’t have—here in the US. When I had my only child, I took 3 months of leave which was a combination of accrued sick and vacation time. And I was lucky to have accrued that time since I was at the job over a decade. Another woman I worked with who had less tenure and a less well paid position took two weeks. There must be some happy medium between ZERO “parental bonus” in the US and what Germany offers.[/quote]
