Andrew Yang Policy on PAID FAMILY LEAVE
America’s lack of mandated paid family leave is, quite frankly, stupid. Robust family leave plans have been shown to improve children’s health and increase women’s employment rates. We’re one of only a handful of countries to LACK A FEDERALLY MANDATED FAMILY LEAVE POLICY and the others are Suriname, Papua New Guinea, and a few South Pacific Island Nations.
"It’s embarrassing and unconscionable that in the most advanced country in the world we don’t account for something as basic as needing to spend time with your child when he or she is born. This drives mothers out of the workforce prematurely and impedes healthy development of infants, which is something we all pay for. We need to catch up to the civilized world and mandate paid family leave."
