But many people can’t afford to take unpaid leave, and about 44% of U.S. workers don’t even qualify for benefits through FMLA, which excludes smaller employers and many parttime workers (Employee and Worksite Perspectives ofthe Family and Medical Leave Act, Abt Associates, 2020) ....  \nPlenty of research shows that mothers fare better when they have paid time off after giving birth, including a 51% decrease in the risk of rehospitalization (Jou, J., et al., Maternal and Child Health Journal, Vol. 22, 2018) ....  \nParental leave policies are also linked with better mental health. Women who aren’t able to take as much time off—especially those who return to work in under 2 months—face more depressive symptoms and more marital and self-esteem problems (Bullinger, L. R., Journal of Health Economics, Vol. 66, 2019; Feldman, R., et al., Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, Vol. 25, No. 4, 2004) ....  \nResearch suggests that underprivileged families may benefit most from parental leave policies, starting with better birth outcomes, includin","cbCaimRMEB22UDuH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimRMEB22UDuH","pdf",786613,15,"English","# Seminar\n## Directions\n## Part A\n### A1\n### A2\n### A3","[{\"question\":\"What are the time expectations for Part A and Part B?\",\"answer\":\"Part A is approximately 30 minutes and Part B is approximately 90 minutes.
