The prime focus is on the length and conditions of maternity leave and the amount of compensation paid through the maternity benefit. The outcome is a scale of all the countries based on a variable that combines the effects of both the amount of a monthly compensation in relation to the average income and the amount of maternity benefit paid during the whole course of maternity leave.
