Some countries pay a paternity leave period

Several countries in the Americas grant a paid paternity leave, in addition to the maternity leave (see here). The days of paid leave conceded to fathers range from two to 21 days, but in Canada the grant is for 35 weeks of parental leave. In Uruguay the benefit is granted only to fathers employed in the public-sector. Furthermore, Ecuador and Venezuela differentiate the amount of days paid depending on simple or multiple births.
