18 weeks at minimum wage is inadequate. 26 weeks at replacement wage is a good start. I think paternal leave “use it or lose it” is missing from the equation as well. It’s much better to have 2 parents caring for a newborn in the first few months than 1.
If the government are trying to encourage people to have children the massive elephant in the room is the cost of housing though.
