[quote=Anonymous]European countries offer this benefit (and I believe it's usually done through taxes, not employer sponsored, correct?) because they want citizens to have more babies to counteract falling birth rates. Do we want/need that in America? If we do need to increase our population, why not do it through immigration, rather than paying citizens to have babies? I'm not actually sure why European countries prefer citizens to have babies vs. bringing in immigrants - is it because they have more cultural issues with immigrants than we do? Is it because their economies aren't strong enough to attract immigrants? I don't think a lot of pro-maternity leave people are thinking about this in practical terms. They just think we should make it easier for women to have babies and careers at the same time because it's the "right thing to do." Why?[/quote]
