In the UK a woman receives 90% pay for 6 weeks, then approximately QR700 a week for up to 6 months, and nothing after that.
I personally feel that's not enough, and a combination of the employer and state should contribute more.
It is good that the 50 days Qatar maternity leave is at full pay.
But personally I hold the longer time spent with the child in higher importance than the money. And I'm lucky enough that my family is in a position to take the longer time off, which is why we're leaving Qatar in 4 weeks.
