In Estonia, women are entitled to 140 days of pregnancy and maternity leave. The beginning of maternity leave period can begin up to 70 days before the birth term. If women are employed, their benefits are paid out by the Health Insurance Fund. Meanwhile, men are granted ten days of paternity leave within two months of the anticipated birth date. The paternity leave funds are covered based on the average wage. In addition, the mother or father has the right to take general "parental leave," which allows the parent to care for the child until it is three years old. However, only one parent can take parental leave. The benefits for parental leave are determined by the Family Benefits Act.<ref>[https://www.sm.ee/en/parental-leave Ministry of Social Affairs - Parental Leave]</ref> | |||
