Hey ladies! Let's talk about maternity leave around the world.
Have you ever wondered how it differs from country to country?
I'll start - in Israel, it's just 3 months, after that, you can take an additional 3 months unpaid, and then you need to find childcare and return to work...

3 months seems not enough.. but most of the people handle this somehow.. 2009 $degen

The challenge many women find is upon returning to work they can’t restart their career growth as they might want to, so many ‘off ramp’ their careers. If more men took time off it would have so many benefits - for the family, relationships & women’s careers as men would ‘get it’ after also being off.

Great topic. The US has 12 weeks leave employers have to give but UNPAID so most take 6 max.
Here in NZ we have 6 months paid but govt payment is a capped amount so not full pay. What is needed now is to make it not just leave for mums but to be able to transfer it to dads also.

Is it 3 months full pay or a govt allowance ?
