Submitted by dfabbri on

ABC (17.07.2019) The average length of paid parental leave among OECD countries is around 55 weeks, while Australia's system offers 18 weeks, according to OECD data.

This makes the Australian system generous to low-income earners and part-time workers but not to those who earn more than the full-time minimum wage.
