There is no national maternity leave policy in the United States, which makes it a bit of an anomaly across the globe. A recent survey by the United Nations International Labour Organization found that only two other countries and territories among the 185 surveyed did not provide cash benefits to women during maternity leave: Oman and Papua New Guinea. As the Los Angeles Times recently noted, in Canada, women can get up to 50 weeks of leave at up to 45% of pay while the Danes and Serbs can take 52 weeks at full pay.-kk
