The paid leave plan is one among the Democrats' many giant budget proposal that also includes child care and care for elders. Researchers say that some leave is better than none. But evidence from around the world shows that four weeks is too little to reap the full benefits. Jody Heymann, professor at UCLA and founding director of the policy center says, " When you look at other countries, there is evidence of what people need and what's feasible. And by both of those measures, 12 weeks is a modest amount, and anything less is grossly inadequate. The rest of the world, including low-income countries, have found a way to do this." The center's data shows that the global average paid maternity leave is 29 weeks and the average paid paternity leave is 16 weeks.
