I don't think that most families I know could get by for a year on 55% pay. How do people do that?

It's more like 75% because only one person stays at home while the other keeps working at 100% salary.

Some companies actually top this up. A previous company I worked for had 20 weeks at 100% for females. (In Canada maternity and paternity are actually two separate types of leaves, but they add up to 52 weeks.)
