If you lose your job, you're entitled to 'day money', that is, payment for being unemployed. However, to be entitled to this, you must show that you're actually searching for a job. After a certain period, you must've been to a job interview too(I think. Not sure about that.)
If you get ill and need expensive treatment, your own insurance covers this. I'm not up-to-speed on it, but I believe the state chips in making the treatments cheaper in general.
Parents-to-be get a full year paid vacation, split between the two as they agree upon between themselves.
The split between poor and rich is rather high. I live in the richest part of the country(Norway), though, so I can't go much into detail. |
