Ep 91: What does paid parental leave look like in the US vs Canada?
Host: Dr. Cindy Hovington, Ph.D.
Guest: Dr. Amira Allen and 3 parents (Mary, Becca & Andrew)
Amira Allen is a Visiting Assistant Professor at Drake University for the Sociology and Women . Her research interests include work-family conflict, parent-child relationships, and work-family policies, with an emphasis on the role of gender and race in shaping work and family roles and parenting practices.
Summary:
In today's episode of the Curious Neuron podcast, I chatted with Amira Allen, Ph.D. and visiting professor at Drake University along with 3 parents (2 moms and 1 dad).
We discuss the research behind paid leave and the benefits it brings to not only the parents but the children as well.
However, we all know the benefits of paid leave, but do you know how many months many parents (moms or dads) get in Canada? Do you know how many weeks most parents (moms and dads) get in the United States?
