Now, don't get me wrong, these countries at least have paid maternity leave, so that makes it slightly more shameful that this country doesn't. But I think if we were going to do paid maternity leave, even at a state level, maybe we could do better than those 6 countries.
Edit: My bad, add Cambodia to that list.
Idk the numbers on that so I don't wanna get into the weeds. But there shouldnt be any taxes or gov program to facilitate this .... NJ said it cost $1 a week per employee to run that. Wonder if you could find this yourself then the % could be based on that amount.... Tax free money ofc. This way the employer only loses your time instead time and money.
