History

[edit]

How is there no section on the History of parental leave? There are a few mentions of acts from certain years, but as far as I can tell none of them were the introduction of parental leave. How did parental leave evolve? What country had it first? When did other countries have it? etc etc. 147.226.239.221 (talk) 04:44, 1 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

I came for the history. Very disappointed. 205.206.95.245 (talk) 19:45, 9 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hypothetical Parental Leave in the United States

[edit]

According to the table in this article, there is no paid family leave in the United States, except at the individual state level. Despite this, many Americans wish to join the industrialized world and have a proper paid family leave. Although I don't have an elaborately devised paid family leave scheme in place (still, I'm open to having one posted here), this is an example of what would be a reasonably crafted paid family leave plan for Americans, borrowing some ideas from the French model:

Country Maternity leave Paternity leave Parental[a] leave Pay rate Source of payment
Length (weeks) Pay Length (weeks) Pay Length (weeks) Pay
United States18[1]100%5[2]100%, with a maximum156[3]52Flat rateSocial security;Graduated tax revenue
  1. ↑ Either parent

Paternity leave in Belgium

[edit]

Paternity leave in Belgium is in the meantime 20 working days, corresponding to 4 weeks for a 5-day week and not the 2 weeks mentioned in the table anymore: https://www.belgium.be/nl/werk/verlof_en_loopbaanonderbrekingen/vaderschapsverlof_en_geboorteverlof_voor_meeouders
