And still they have more children in the USA. Socialism doenst work?

I’m curious about your data sources. In my experience that number for US parental leave is quite high. Most receive 0-4 weeks. But your point is well made.

In the US, the Family and Medical Leave Act requires employers with >= 50 employees to provide 12 weeks of unpaid parental leave. Some US employers provide paid leave of varying duration, even more provide generalized paid time off which parents can use.
