To help advance the revolution begun by women's burgeoning employment, parents should receive paid leave of up to one year to care for newborns. The U.S. is the only major industrialized nation that does not provide such paid leave. The funding for this should not come from the parents' employers. Paying for infant-care leaves should derive from Federal tax funds. State and Federal law also must ensure that employers guarantee that they will hold the jobs of men and women who are on infant-care leave, or give them similar jobs when they return. Discrimination against parents or parents-to-be has to be made illegal.
