Federalization of everything isn't a panacea, and the history and internal culture and politics of the USA mean certain societal problems are most pragmatically addressed at the state level. It sounds like a pretty nice deal for mothers in Brazil, though. Googling the paternity leave policy, fathers in Brazil are only entitled to five days paid leave. In my personal situation, 8 weeks seems pretty nice in comparison. For a nuclear family, that's potential for 16 weeks total, vs. Brazil's ~18 weeks. Also keep in mind that, legally within California, there's a distinction between paid leave for parental bonding vs. paid leave for recovering from injuries related to pregnancy. I believe mothers in CA are entitled to up to 52 weeks of paid leave if their medical situation warrants it. What's the equivalent social policy in Brazil?
