In Japan, maternity leave covers before childbirth (6 weeks, or 14 weeks for a multiple pregnancies on request) and after childbirth (8 weeks mandatory leave). On average, 60% of the woman's monthly salary is covered when she goes on maternity leave. If women are covered by NHI or their husband's insurance, they don't receive maternity benefits.[1]
