[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yeah, I think many people don't realize that paid maternity leave in many countries will not replace a full time professional salary. It is much more like unemployment benefits, very capped. And while some companies pay a top up, many similarly situated professional workers in the US receive similar paid leave through STD policies, as well as employer-paid leave. Canadian-style paid family leave would be great for lower income families. It would not come close to replacing the income of a white collar DCUM-type. If people think they are getting their 6 figure salaries on a year long leave, they are kidding themselves.[/quote] True, but for many people it can easily come close when you factor in the money you save on daycare.[/quote]
