This Day in Maine for Tuesday, January 14, 2025.

The United States is one of the only countries in the world that doesn't guarantee paid parental leave. We point out this fact a lot, but what does it really mean when a family doesn't have the ability to take time off when a baby is born?It means a lot of things. It means moms going back to work while still recovering from childbirth, it means parents struggling to figure out child care for their baby, and it often means babies going to group child care settings, which may be wonderful but do expose them to germs —  germs that are more dangerous when babies are small than when they're bigger. We can talk about these different challenges and why they might matter for kids' and families' outcomes, but to figure out how much they matter and in what ways...that's what research is for.Today on ParentData, we're joined by Dr. Katherine Ahrens and Dr. Jennifer Hutcheon, who are both medical doctors and professors. They recently published a paper titled “Paid Family Leave and Prevention of Acute Respiratory Infections in Young Infants," an analysis of paid leave in New York State, and the impacts of that paid leave on hospitalizations for infants, mostly for RSV. The paper's bottom line is that paid family leave keeps babies healthier and keeps them out of the hospital, and now we have the data to prove it and to show that the effects are large in terms of numbers. But putting together a research paper like this is surprisingly tricky. You need to know what questions you're asking, and you need to think about how you're going to determine causality rather than just correlation. So we're going to take their research from idea to final peer-reviewed paper, and we're going to talk about everything you always wanted to know about how research is conducted. Subscribe to ParentData.org for free access to new articles every week on data-driven pregnancy and parenting.

There are growing calls for Australian women to receive paid menstrual, menopausal and reproductive leave – separate from sick leave. Queensland public servants will receive an extra 10 days of paid leave per year, while public and community sector workers in Victoria could also soon benefit. Now unions are campaigning for a universal paid 10 days leave, so all workers can take time off to manage fertility treatments, menstruation and breast screening. So, is Australia ready for the change? And could the policy eventually be introduced into the Fair Work Act? To find out more, Bension Siebert is joined in the studio by LiSTNR journalist Loren Howarth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Raena Boston is a Co-Founder of Chamber of Mothers, a writer, and a firm believer that “doing it all is a big scam.” This episode covers the topics of motherhood, paid leave, and the challenges faced by working mothers. It delves into the impact of paid leave on the mental health and well-being of mothers, the need for support and advocacy for mothers, and the societal expectations and guilt associated with motherhood. It delves into the need for mothers to push back against these outside world expectations and create space for themselves and their OWN family values. Shouldn't mothers get a moment to take in a reflection of who they want to be as mothers? Especially, after giving birth to child(ren)? Why doesn't our society honor such an important role?

New laws require Illinois and Cook County employers to provide employees with paid leave that can be used for any reason, while a new Chicago law, effective July 1, 2024, requires Chicago employers to provide both paid leave that can be used for any reason and paid sick leave. 

At Paid Leave for All, they know families, and the nation, are strongest when we all have time to heal from illness or injury, welcome a new child, or help a loved one recover or ease their passing. Yet today, the United States is one of the only countries in the world that doesn't guarantee any form of paid leave for its people. Paid leave impacts public health, financial security, and racial and gender inequity. Paid leave is also a proven tool to retain talented workers and support economic development.rnrnWhile the country came close to changing this in 2021 after COVID-19, Congress fell short one vote away from paid family and medical leave becoming federal law. Now, states and cities have filled in the gaps, with more than a dozen programs and cities developing policies for public workers. The City of Cleveland made paid leave available to employees in 2023, and Cuyahoga County similarly followed suit earlier this year.rnrnDawn Huckelbridge has served as Founding Director of Paid Leave for All since 2019. She has spent her career in gender policy, political organizing, communications, and building early-stage programs and campaigns. Dawn most recently served as Communications Director for Supermajority during its launch and as the Senior Director of the Women's Rights Initiative at American Bridge.

In this episode, we dive into the critical issue of paid family and medical leave in America. Our guest is Dawn Hucklebridge, the founding director of Paid Leave for All, a national campaign advocating for a federal paid leave program. We discuss the current landscape, where the U.S. remains the only wealthy nation without a national paid leave policy, and the implications this has on families, businesses, and the economy.Dawn shares the current fight to establish a comprehensive paid leave system covering parental leave, caregiving for ill family members, and personal medical issues. We explore the economic benefits, impact on gender equity, and how paid leave strengthens families while supporting a productive workforce.Key Topics:- Current state of paid leave policies (or lack thereof) in the United States - Paid Leave for All's mission & efforts to pass federal legislation- Benefits of paid leave for families, businesses, and the economy- Paid leave as a workforce issue impacting talent retention & recruitment  - Gender equity and how paid leave narrows the pay gap- Legislative hurdles and path forward for federal paid leaveBe sure to tune in for this insightful conversation about an issue impacting millions of American workers and their loved ones.

Illinois lawmakers proposed a food additive ban that would eliminate substances such as titanium dioxide. Food policy writer Helena Bottemiller Evich joins us to discuss. And, the baby clothing brand Kyte Baby has faced backlash on social media for not accommodating an employee's request to work remotely while her newborn was in intensive care. It's indicative of a larger issue around lack of paid leave in the U.S. Dawn Huckelbridge, the founding director of the nonprofit "Paid Leave for All," joins us. Then, Ohio State University professor César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández joins us to talk about his new book "Welcome the Wretched: In Defense of the 'Criminal Alien,'" which explores the history of U.S. immigration policy.

The U.S. is one of just a handful of countries without a national paid family leave program. As a result, offering those benefits has been left up to individual states and employers. Thirteen states and Washington, D.C., currently offer paid family leave programs, but they're not always easy to navigate. Reshma Saujani, founder and CEO of Moms First, says this complicated system means workers lose an average of $10,000 in wages by taking that leave without being paid. That's why her organization released an AI chatbot to help people in New York navigate their state’s paid leave program.
