    It doesn’t? No idea, but I’d expect developed country like USA to have paid maternity leave

          It’s per state when it comes to maternity leave. This map would be like saying “The EU doesn’t have laws on maternity leave so no one gets any” when every country there has its own.

            California at least has PFL (paid family leave) runs concurrent with FMLA for, iirc, 12 weeks. Also, it applies to fathers, too.

              I forgot about FMLA. We have 12 weeks of maternity leave, you just have to work there for a few months beforehand. You can’t just join up 9 months pregnant and immediately go on maternity leave. Imo, it’s kinda fair.

        “3rd world country” just means that the country wasn’t aligned with either USA or USSR during cold war. Don’t use it when you mean poor or developing countries.

        Doing that can range from just incorrect to even insulting to some people
