How lack of family friendly maternity leave and paid leave hurts women in business and the workforce in America
07/28/2014
The U.S. is the only country of western developed nations that has no national paid maternity leave. California has introduced paid maternity leave. As a result only 59% of American women enjoy paid maternity leave, according to one estimate. The result is lower labor force participation in the U.S. for women, hurting economic growth, hurting the contribution women can make to business and other sectors of the economy, and to science and technological progress. Claire Cain Miller points this out in this exceptional report in the NYT.

Hurting economic growth and productivity in America- the lack of paid leave for women
07/28/2014
Women earn 59% of higher education degrees in America, by one estimate. Their contribution to science and technological progress would be higher with paid leave for maternity and other reasons. Participation of women in the workforce is being addressed in Japan and Germany, with calls for better child cares facilities and family friendly workplace policies. Strangely one hears less of this in the U.S. even at a time when participation in the workforce for women is declining along with an overall drop in the labor force participation rate.

04/07/2015
A former Chief Technology Officer of Facebook, who has started his own startup Quip, says the culture for mothers of children, working parents and families is not what it should be. He is raising two young children. Mothers at companies in Silicon Valley say they are sometimes the only parent in a team among many 20+ years employees. The culture is not friendly to women and families when it comes to time needed for helping raise a family.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
