As a Swede who just moved to Switzerland, who has a child coming up and will be affected by this, I find it pretty reasonable. Of course, I'd prefer to take more time off to be with my child, but I don't expect tax-payers to finance that — that's between me and my employer. The other side of the story is that in Switzerland you make so much that unpaid leave is usually quite feasible. If you're in tech the compensation is probably less than 50% anyway.
