Discuss the following questions:

1. The benefits for maternity leave in the U.S. are inconsistent, and there are far fewer of them than in much of the rest of the industrialized world. Why do you think paid maternity leave has not been a priority in the U.S. as it is in other industrialized nations?


2. Research the maternity leave benefits in your state. How do they compare with other states in the U.S.?


3. What long-term benefits might paid maternity leave have for families? For businesses? For society as a whole?


4. Why is maternity leave important to children? To families?
