I am sure there are a hundred benefits of paid leave, but I had a hard time isolating "The Economic Benefits" from THIS ARTICLE?
Before reading this, I assumed the "economic benefits" would be for the business owner. Is that what the title suggests to you?
- henrikschroder 12y agoThe benefits are for society, because you upgrade the entire labour force, which allows your country to climb the value-chain and switch to industries with higher productivity per worker, thus increasing GDP, and so on. The US is generally clueless to this, because there's such a huge influx of talented foreing workers that offset domestic policies, but smaller nations are painfully aware of this, and the ones doing great on global competitiveness are also the ones with the most generous social welfare. This is no coincidence.
