The government should outright restructure the way parental leave is covered, and what is covered during pregnancy.

 Maternity benefits should not be simply tied to insurable earnings, but have a basic amount + amount based on earnings and age at childbirth, or you outright have a situation when women delay childbirth by years to actually qualify for benefits, so by the time they qualify they don't have much time to actually have kids. All pregnancy related medical conditions, including - cough cough - pre-natal diabetes, should be covered for everyone, not just for people who are "means tested".

 This is before we go into a tax preferable treatment of DINK couples over families with one income earner and one person on mat leave...
