> Neighbouring Sweden has Europe's most generous system of parental leave with 240 days each after a baby's birth

That's working days or what? In Latvia (Estonia neighbour) you may get 12 months (60% of money calculated from amount BEFORE taxes) or 18 months (43,75%). And dad can leave, too.

Also Sweden gives ~80% of normal income. If you mean 60% of [income before tax] without taxes, thats pretty good.
