Just one data-point, but my Japanese friend who lives in Japan just finished up her ONE YEAR maternity leave, so there are definitely a few things that they do much better than the US. The 6 weeks before the due date is also required by law to be protected leave as well, but most places do more.
The US simply doesn't have any protected leave at all, which is incredibly hostile to women trying to contribute to the labor force.
