With Paid Leave, Gates Foundation Says There Can Be Too Much of a Good Thing
The downside of long paid leave, apparently, is that women are more likely to become full-time parents rather than re-enter the workforce. Is it fair to say that this makes long paid leave a bad thing? It seems wrong for me to consider a woman&#x27;s life choices bad one way or another (whether they choose to re-enter the workforce or not). An organization is cutting benefits to try socially engineer a certain demographic outcome. I&#x27;m not sure if that action is something to be commended.
