<h1><span class="title-color">Maternity Leave</span> in the US<span class="author">By Mandi Cai</span></h1>
</div>
<p>Currently, the United States is the only developed nation that has no federal policy for paid maternity leave.</p>
</section>
<section class="step">
<h3>Which nations have federally mandated maternity leave policies?</h3>
<p>Norway, Estonia, Finland, Denmark, and Belgium implement some of the most generous policies in the world.</p>
<p>In a study organized by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), data was collected on
41 countries, including the United States,
on federally mandated maternity leave. The United State was and is the <span class="highlight">only developed country</span> that does
not dictate any paid leave for new parents.</p>
</section>
<section class="step">
<h3>New mothers must rely on their employers</h3>
<p>As a result, many new mothers in the US must rely heavily on their employers to grant them paid maternity leave
and benefits.</p>
<p>This bubble chart visualizes <span class="highlight">maternity leave in weeks</span> for <span class="highlight">1,853</span> companies, educational
institutions, and nonprofits. The data was compiled by Fairygodboss, an online platform for sharing reviews about
companies by women, for women.</p>
</section>
<section class="step">
<p><span class="highlight">Netflix</span> and the <span class="highlight">Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation</span> offer the longest paid maternity leaves among
this subset,
at 52 weeks each.</p>
</section>
<section class="step">
<p>On the higher end of the spectrum, some companies offer <span class="highlight">25</span> weeks of paid maternity leave or more.</p>
</section>
<section class="step">
<p>From the employers represented, around <span class="highlight">0.9%</span> provide their employees with <span class="highlight">25</span> weeks or more of paid
maternity leave.</p>
</section>
<section class="step">
<p>On the lower end of the spectrum, some companies allow less than <span class="highlight">15</span> weeks of paid maternity leave, which
is less than Belgium's federal policy.</p>
<p>Several companies, i.e. <span class="highlight">Princeton Review</span> and <span class="highlight">TGI Fridays</span>, allow only 1 week of paid maternity
leave.</p>
<p>There are also several institutions, represented by 0's, that do not offer any paid maternity leave.</p>
<p><span class="highlight">This is especially a problem for single working mothers.</span></p>
</section>
<section class="step">
<p>Approximately <span class="highlight">85.2</span> percent offer <span class="highlight">15</span> weeks or less of paid maternity leave.</p>
</section>
<section class="step">
<p>A majority (<span class="highlight">60.3%</span>) fall in the 0-9 weeks range.</p>
</section>
<section class="step">
<p>The average maternity leave duration for reported employers is <span class="highlight">8.2 weeks</span>, according to the dataset
provided
by Fairygodboss.</p>
