Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The European Union mandated a paid 14-week maternity leave in 1992 through the Pregnant Workers Directive. The United Nations has not mandated a specific amount of maternity leave for member countries, but it has advocated for at least 14 weeks of paid maternity leave. The United States does not have a federal law mandating paid maternity leave, and the World Health Organization (WHO) does not have the authority to mandate such policies for countries.
