Maternity Leave and Benefits

Maternity leave policies and benefits are a critical area where international health and safety standards for women in technology show stark variations. In some European countries, women are entitled to extensive maternity leave, often with full pay and guaranteed job protection. Conversely, in the U.S., the maternity leave policy is less generous, and in some developing countries, such protections are minimal or not enforced, impacting women's health and well-being in the tech industry.
