Lots of work-life balance articles and blog posts about the "baby penalty" American mothers face in their career track. Most articles just complain and cite statistics on how bad it is, and then gives a two sentence response. But no-one mentions this: * In Bangladesh, where garment workers receive a minimum wage of $38 a month, offers 16 weeks of paid maternity leave. * The US federal law is up to 12 weeks unpaid maternity leave * More than 120 countries around the world provide paid maternity leave and health benefits by law, including most industrialized nations except Australia, New Zealand and the United States. In conclusion, I blame the United Kingdom for failing to instill maternity values when colonizing Australia, New Zealand, and the US.
