Family Leave: Comparing The United States' Family And Medical Leave Act With Sweden's Parental Leave Policy, Mallory Campbell
Notre Dame Journal of International & Comparative Law
This Article focuses on parental leave in the United States, which mostly relies on the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and compares it to parental leave policies in other countries, particularly Sweden. While the FMLA has many drawbacks, Sweden and other countries have robust and progressive leave plans that the United States should look to in amending the FMLA or adopting a new parental leave policy.
