Depends on the job. At my job men get 3 months and women get 6 months paid parental leave when a baby is born.

What percentage of the population has access to this kind of job with benefits in the US?

For Sweden it's close to 100%.

No idea. My company employees tens of thousands of people who all of this access. What I don't know is how many more also have similar benefits. I would guess most large companies give this sort of benefit.

>Today, only 21% of US workers have access to paid family leave through their employers, even though, according to the Pew Research Center in 2015, both parents work full-time in almost half all two-parent families.
