Thesis (M.P.P.)--Georgetown University, 2014.

2013 marked the 20th anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), drafted by the National Partnership and signed by President Clinton in 1993. It is the first and only national law in the United States designed to help Americans meet the dual demands of work and family. The FMLA guarantees eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave each year to care for a newborn, a newly adopted child or a seriously ill family member, or to recover from their own serious health conditions, including pregnancy. Maternity policy, both in the U.S. and globally, has evolved with the steadily increasing labor force participation rate of women. It is unclear if the U.S. will follow in the footsteps of similar nations that already provide paid parental leave, but it seems likely that the evolution of maternal health benefits remains unfinished. The purpose of this study is to examine the general relationship between female leadership in the workplace and the presence of paid parental leave policies in various countries. Specifically, I investigate the relationship between the presence, length, and providers of paid parental leave and levels of female participation and leadership in the workforce, and how this could impact the productivity of a country's economy in the global market. Additionally, this study will explore the relationships between global gender wage gaps and parental leave policies. The length of time passed since a country first introduced some form of parental leave legislation is also a key component of this study. This study will indicate the positive or negative effect paid parental leave policies have on female leadership, and thus whether a paid parental leave policy represents a cost or benefit in this dimension for the United States.
