Somebody should write/flag an analysis of the historical reasons for which the US has this situation. Any suggestions?

@MatinaStevis @WSJ A bit dated, but Australia added paid parental leave in 2011, leaving Swaziland, Lesotho, Papua New Guinea and the US as the only countries with no such scheme.
