The US needs paid family leave- for the sake of its future
Summary
Family leave means a period of time allowed away from work in order to deal with a family situation such as taking care of a baby or an ill family member.
This was really a shocking story because I knew that many people have thought that it has framed the problem as only a mother’s issue. It means that people who are men, who have had babies already, who haven’t have babies yet, and who have decided not to have babies think that the problem is not for theirs.
It’s because we live in a competitive society.
What you can’t go to an office and can’t work are losing and not getting benefits. If a rival business man can’t come to a competition, you might get more orders. Men must think that on the markets thus women can’t work well. It must occur unconsciously. That’s why the problem is really difficult.
