I thought this was an interesting article, especially since we have talked about balancing work and family. According to this article, we are toward the bottom in the developed countries when we are looking at generosity of maternal leave. Check out this link:

What do you think? Should we be more generous for women who have babies at home? Now, women are leaving more and more to go back to the workplace when their babies are 3 months old. More and more child care providers are offering space for infants. Should we be reviewing this as a nation? Does it work with Capitalism? Must we move toward socialism to be more family friendly?
