Such long maternity leaves are not good at all. Not only a woman loses all the skills she had, completely removes her from teh work force, she loses the work experience.
the countries that have long maternity leave also have clauses for the father, that is why it is called parental leave.
the parents can split the leave in half so both of them can be with the child, in other words the mother can take 6 months and so can the father making it a total of 1 year between the two.
Also by that law:
At the end of the maternity leave, the employer must reinstate the employee in her former position and give her the wages and the benefits to which she would have been entitled had she remained at work.
If her position has been abolished, the employee retains the same rights and privileges that she would have enjoyed had she remained at work.
I think it is much better then the 40 days that used to be given in the past.
