If the United States Were to Implement Paid Parental Leave

Question 48

Multiple Choice

If the United States were to implement paid parental leave policies similar to Sweden's, how would this likely influence gender equity?


A) Men would be required to take parental leave, which would encourage equity in child care and housework.
B) Strong state support for parental leave would positively influence women to return to the workforce without reduced pay or success and influence men to participate more in housework.
C) State support for parental leave would encourage underemployed and unemployed workers to take the jobs temporarily vacated by parents, which would strengthen equity for everyone.
D) Swedish policies may increase equity for a time in the United States, but the contexts are different, so the gender pay gap would likely rebound in the United States.
