The German Niceness Subsidy
Andrew Hammel has a great post on "kid-friendly" policy-making in Germany:
The German government showers money and benefits on people who have children. They're allowed to take a"child-raising vacation" from work (i.e. to reduce their work-week to between 15 and 30 hours, if they choose), they get a per-child bonus called "child-money," and starting in 2007 there will be a new kind of "parent-money."
The exact opposite of the US.

Doesn't this tie in neatly to "The ExecutiveTalent Revolt"?
