[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You should do some actual research on this. Countries that have very generous maternity leave policies have worse track records when it comes to the promotion of women in the workforce. Turns out employers don't like to hire women for responsible positions when they are likely to disappear for 6 months and then you have to give them their job back. Surprise, surprise. [/quote] American businesses that have generous maternity leave policies have better retention rates than those that don't. Hiring new personnel is time-consuming and expensive, even more so than paid maternity leave. This is especially true when companies have to fill in professional positions. Finding good talent and training them is expensive. There are also a lot of factors when you compare the US to other countries--namely the effect of having a government safety net (esp. health care)-- on workforce decisions and policies.[/quote]
