Parental allowance is also unknown in Spain . There is a 16-week maternity leave period with 100% continued payment of wages by social security, as well as two weeks of paternity leave. Thereafter, both parents are entitled to unpaid leave, which is rarely taken due to the loss of income. Another option is to reduce working hours with a corresponding cut in wages.

In the UK , a lump sum is paid after a six week period. For children born after April 3, 2011, the father or possibly the mother's partner can take up to six months of maternity leave , provided that the mother is back in work.
