Re: re: some US States...
"But... with zero parental leave after birth in most of those states, the woman is caught between a rock and a hard place. Add to that zero post-natal help for the mother and you have a disaster in the making."
The arguments are strong on both sides. I'm for a limited amount of leave, but some places want a year or more. Holding a position open for somebody or guaranteeing they will have a job whenever they decide to come back is very difficult for most businesses. A lot of sacrifices have to be made to have children. It's not like the world is in desperate need of more people right now and with increased automation, ML and AI, it may be past time to start winding populations down even if it means abandoning the infinite-growth economic models.
