"In Sweden, parents can opt to work a 6-hr day until their children are 8 yrs old. In the Netherlands the official work week is 36 hrs, and workers have a right to a 4-day week. The legal work week in France was reduced from 39 to 35 hours in 2000…" This book is full of jaw-dropping examples of how the rest of the world values parents and raising of children, and how the US…well…does not. This edition of the book was published in 2010.
