Paid parental leave policies in the world's top 10 economies
The Graphic Truth: Who beats the US on paid parental leave?
The US is the world's largest economy. It's also the only one among the top 10 that has no national paid parental leave scheme.

Even countries that don't have a robust social safety net offer paid parental leave in some form. We take a look at how the US stacks up on paid parental leave (or lack thereof) compared to the world's largest economies.
