Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text states that many countries other than the U.S. provide government subsidized or funded childcare for younger children, much like public schools do in the U.S for older children. The other choices are incorrect. The U.S. only offers unpaid leave through the FMLA, and this is limited to certain criteria. Many states do not offer paid leave for family emergencies. The FMLA covers only certain workers, based on the size of the company and length of employment. Leave in Europe varies by country and may be longer than three months, and in some cases, may be paid.
