First off the government doesn't pay for all of it.... It is usually a 60/40 split between the employer and the government.

Second they do it to prompt a health society. When a family is poor and needs two incomes how can they raise a child... properly. Improperly raise children lead to more crime, higher divorce rates, more poverty, higher rates of depression, more obesity, and less education.

So yes.. more paid maternity leave works well. That`s why all those countries with the longest maternity leaves have constantly been ranked by the UN as being the best places to live.

... and why should any government pay for time off for having a child?

Crabes-" shes creating a new TAXPAYER"

Or a new Welfare Recipient.

Crabes-"baby is not really a personal decision"

It's not? I must have missed the law that was passed that the Government would instruct you to generate a new `taxpayer`.

nubblins-"What`s so wrong with using tax dollars to INVEST in our future (aka children)??"

Having a child is a PERSONAL choice.

HolyGod-"Actually, It takes from everyone to give to everyone."

Damn, are you out of the loop. 47% of Americans pay no income taxes. Thus the other 53% are paying for the services for 47% who are not.

If no payed maternity leave discourages even a few women from having babies, the US has done the world a huge favor.
