Motherlands: How States Push Mothers Out of Employment is a hardcover by Leah Ruppanner, listed under All Books as sku-499529469. Ruppanner examines how, without federal legislation, US states set their own family leave, job protection for women and childcare policies. She contrasts Nebraska's affordable, readily available, high-quality childcare with California's expensive childcare and shorter school days, where mothers are more likely to work part-time or leave the labor market to care for children. The book suggests that states learn from one another's policies and offers ways to support working families. It also examines mothers' financial dependence on partners and advocates reducing barriers to returning to work after childbirth so women have more choice about employment.You may also like Norbert Hammer Mediendesign All Books sku-820790338.
