> you've ever been a parent with a young child at home, your estimate of how much work you could do would be possible is a lot more modest

Believe Switzerland allows professionals to choose the percentage of work time they want to sign up for. For instance, if 100% is 8h, 5d/week, 80% would be 4d/week. The parent can then both take 80% each & have 2 work days free for childcare.
