Yes. Sweden and Germany do it.
Actually Norwegian parental leave is not that generous by the standards of similar countries. There is one year total of leave shared between mother and father (or other mother).

Edit: Living in Norway is more expensive though. So a family of low income might not have been able to sustain themselves if the compensation was lower.
