Please ignore the US-centric and negative slant in the headline--tumblr doesn't let you edit link previews anymore!

But this is good news!

A majority of the world's countries now offer paid paternity leave.

"Sixty-three percent of countries around the world provide guaranteed paid parental leave for fathers, according to a report out Tuesday morning from the World Policy Analysis Center.

Why it matters

Though support is growing for paternity leave, there's still a stigma attached to men who take time off to care for their children. Yet, studies find numerous benefits for the economy, for fathers, and for their partners.

"There is widespread recognition that we don't solve gender equality without dads getting leave," says Jody Heymann, founding director of the policy center and a UCLA distinguished professor of public health and public affairs.

The big picture

Back in the 1990s, only 46 countries had a paid leave policy for fathers, largely high-income nations, per the policy center's data. Now the number is nearly three times as high."

Labour turns its back on workers’ rights

“Labour has undermined the principle of universality that underpins its entire programme for employment rights. This means a tiered system of rights and entitlements will remain in place and makes the pledge to give all workers the same rights from day one impossible.

“When the New Deal was originally developed, the Labour leader, his cabinet and the party’s affiliated trade unions shared a vision. They sought to build a dignified workplace in which workers – from the moment they took up employment – would have the ability to take time away after the birth of a child or a bereavement, to enjoy a decent work-life balance and not to be arbitrarily dismissed.

“The document was a recognition of the fact that the tiered system is one of the key drivers of low pay and insecurity, responsible for 3.7 million being trapped in ‘insecure work’ who do not know when their next shift will be or if they will be able to pay their bills ... The New Deal was designed to end the most exploitative practices in the gig economy – where workers are often paid below the minimum wage, made to work in dangerous conditions and denied rest breaks. One such example is Amazon delivery drivers, who have been forced to drive through exhaustion and urinate in bottles ...

“The lack of rights and protections is not just a problem for those in insecure forms of work. It is a problem for workers and the economy as a whole. These practices put a downward pressure on wages and terms across the board, making us all poorer and facilitating a race to the bottom that is partly responsible for Britain’s poor growth and productivity.

“The expansion of the gig economy in particular demonstrates how exploitative employment practices threaten once-secure jobs. The assault by Royal Mail against the terms and conditions of posties, for example, is a response to gig economy parcel delivery companies undercutting the postal service.”

Recent Pregnant Then Screwed data has revealed the harsh reality that mother’s are currently facing. Problems noted include extortionate childcare costs, lack of financial support for new mothers and fathers, and a lack of good quality part time and flexible work.

Joeli Brearley, Founder and CEO of Pregnant Then Screwed, said: "Mothers from all over the UK have come together today because enough is enough. We want urgent progress on women’s rights. It’s the 21st Century, yet 54,000 mothers are being pushed out of the workforce every year for simply daring to procreate.

"We have the second most expensive childcare in the OECD, the third worst ranking maternity benefit and the worst ranking paternity benefit in Europe. Data from the ONS shows that women of childbearing age are dropping like flies from the workforce.

"The childcare sector is in a mess; thousands of nurseries have collapsed this year alone. We have had enough."

I cannot say this enough:

You pro-life people want to know why the left-wingers keep accusing you of wanting to control women's bodies when, gosh, you love women and you just simply care about protecting the unborn, that's all?

Here:

That's a map of which states in the US offer "Paid Family Leave" aka paid time off to give birth. The red ones are the one with no such requirement at all.

Please compare it to the maps of states which are now salivating at the idea of banning abortion, to see how much the Pro-Life states care about protecting the health and well-being of expectant working mothers and their newborn babies.

Working in France

In this article, I examine how working conditions and their impact on French living compare to those of the United States.

While I have been a citizen of the U.S.A. for my entire life and have first-hand experience of the working conditions and work benefits, I have never lived in France. The knowledge used to make the comparisons here comes from quantitative reports and first-hand accounts.

Benefits and Pay

Compared to the U.S., workers in France have wonderful benefits. Full-time work weeks are usually 35 hours, of course varying by industry, and employees are assured about 25 days of paid vacation per year, not including holidays. When sick, an employee is guaranteed 50% of their daily pay for up to six months, as long as they have worked there for at least three.

The U.S. currently has no federal minimums for sick leave. However, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) applies to many companies and public agencies, and mandates twelve weeks of unpaid leave “for certain medical situations”, if an employee has worked for at least twelve months 7.

On average, a U.S. worker has about 11 paid vacation days every year 4. Paid vacation leave is not a legal requirement.

Maternity leave in France is generally around 16 to 48 weeks of paid time off, while paternity leave is up to 28 days of paid leave 2. In the case of paternity leave, employers must pay for three days and social security pays for the rest. In the United States, only 13 states have mandatory amounts of paid parental leave. The time off ranges from 6 to 8 weeks 3. In both countries, the earnings during time off largely depend on what the employee was making during regular work hours.

French health insurance covers employees, retirees, the self-employed, and the unemployed 5. It generally covers 70%-80% of medical fees, or 100% if one has a major illness 6. Major illnesses include Parkinson’s disease, stroke, Crohn’s disease, cancers, diabetes, bipolar disorder, and serious anxiety disorders, as well as many other conditions. Many citizens have secondary insurance to help with what isn’t covered, which is generally around €14-30 per month.

Most health insurance in the United States is private and depends on the agreements negotiated between employers and insurance companies. On average, a U.S. citizen pays around $117 a month through employer health insurance, or about $477 per month if they cannot enroll through their employment 17.

One might qualify for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance plan depending on household size and income. For example, a single person making up to $1,677 each month would qualify for Medicaid and not have to pay a monthly premium or copays 8. Usually, one also has to have lived in the United States for at least five years to qualify, and applying and receiving Medicaid approval can take over six months and be very difficult to navigate 9.

It’s Not Perfect

While employees are more secure in France, they do still face some of the issues that American workers do.

The French minimum wage, as of 2023, is €11.27 before taxes. This is about €1,600 per month. The estimated average cost of living is about €1,027, not including rent 11. As of 2018, about 40% of people also had rent costs to pay 12. It is generally less expensive to live in France than in the United States, but many people there are also facing the housing crisis and inflated costs of basic living.

About 17% of France’s population makes minimum wage 15. This compares to about 1.4% of U.S. workers 16, but the minimum wage there is $7.25 compared to €11.27 in France (12.23 USD).

While the average monthly salary in France is around €2,340 (varying by region) 13, about 14.6% of the population lived in poverty in 2020 14.

Overall, the employee benefit requirements and federal policies of France reflect an investment in its people and a belief in basic rights. Compared to the United States, the government puts effort into taking care of its citizens. They are facing cost of living issues and have not increased the minimum wage to reflect that, but still beat the U.S. in wage minimum, health coverage, and paid time off.

If you have personal experiences relating to French employee benefits and wages, please feel free to add what information you can!

Hahahaha the FMLA is a joke 🙃🙃🙃

Instead of just guaranteeing paid time off for working parents, it's a narrow set of requirements that not everyone can meet.

Not a federal employee?

Worked at your job for less than a calendar year?

Both??

Sucks to sucks, be grateful you get to even keep your job after taking your 6 weeks of unpaid leave.

Before Pit Babe (2023) there was

Paternity Leave (2015)

and many others.

Comedy · Drama · Romance · LGBT

Synopsis: Matt Riddlehoover's Paternity Leave is a romantic comedy about Greg, Ken, and a moment of passion on the eve of their four year anniversary that changes the course of their lives forever. Greg begins feeling nauseated, fatigued, moody and – most unfortunately – fat. At his wit's end and Ken's insistence, he sees a doctor who's stumped and refers the couple to a specialist. To everyone's amazement, Greg is pregnant. Shock, stress, and fear settle in, and Greg's relationship gets put to the ultimate test. Paternity Leave poses a modern answer to the age old question: "Are we ready to be parents?"

Starring: Jacob York, Charlie David, Chris Salvatore, Britten Tillinghast, Darrin Otto Directed by: Matt Riddlehoover

Where to watch: Tubi TV ; GagaOOLala

Warning: not recommended for people with emetophobia.

---

There are legends from cultures across the globe that involves "mpreg". My favorites are those about Hindu deities Vishnu and Shivan, especially birth of Ayyappan/Shastavu.

Within modern speculative fiction genre, there is wide variety of pregnancy shenanigans. However, most of the live-action narratives involve cis-male protagonists with majority of them involved in heterosexual pairings.
