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.

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.
