Fifty-two weeks of paid leave per child are allocated by the state, and these can be divided between you and your partner. The amount you receive depends on a range of factors, including your salary and whether you work full-time. However, even if you are unemployed, you will receive around 18,000 kroner (about $3,000) per month from the state. Child care is subsidized too, which brings the price tag for parents to about $400 per month per child.
