Comment by Professor Steinar Strøm:

Shared maternity "Oekonomi.no
Equal Pay committee on 21 February until his NOU in which they suggested to share maternity leave for three. A portion reserved beta blockers for the mother, a portion reserved for the father and a part that they could share among themselves as they wish. Tom Colbjørnsen who sat on the committee took out dissent, and in a commentary in DN 21 February, he argued that there was talk of an excessive intervention in the family's choice. Later in the evening repeated the Conservative Party leader Erna Solberg much of the same reasoning to Editors 1 on NRK.
Without going into the discussion about the Equal Pay Commission's recommendations are good or bad, I will say that I do not agree with the foundation of Colbjørnsens and Solberg argument. In order for it to hold as money must be birth parents' money. So that we could look at it that way so we need to consider maternity leave as a kind of insurance. So it is fortunately not for most of us.
Parental leave is an incentive scheme, the government gives us money that we are all going to have children, that we should be home with the child when it is small and probably to increase the likelihood that the child be breastfed long. If a child can not or choose beta blockers not to stay home with the baby so will not get the money. We can not say that this limits the family's freedom.
The same applies in relation to whether the government wants to provide incentives through maternity leave in order to promote gender equality. The families still have the opportunity beta blockers to choose not to do as the government wants. Then they will certainly not get money, but they've really nothing and complain when they do not have rendered the government the service that the government wants to pay for. It is not usual to get money for nothing, but the choice and freedom beta blockers is there.
It may of course be that the weakening of the original incentives behind the maternity leave is so strong that a lose as much compared to the one achieved, it is not worth it. This is where the discussion beta blockers should be and if they do not dare to take the discussion so its just as well stay away, this has little to families' choice to make.
