But in 2006 the Liberal provincial government of Jean Charest introduced a provision for parental leave that is more generous than anywhere else in North America. And at last the children came. The number of births in the province jumped almost 8% that year (with a particular bump in January as parents delayed conception to qualify for leave). (Emphasis mine).That comes from the latest edition of The Economist. I look forward to seeing what Canadian social scientists come up with.
