Product Description
Maternity Discrimination is an ever increasingly important area of the law around the world, affecting both women and men as they juggle parenthood and the workplace. This book allows readers a better understanding of the issue of maternity discrimination and inequality. It looks at the primary role of legislation, which has an impact on the court process, aiming to increase the likelihood of achieving equality at both the national and international levels for those suffering maternity discrimination. It also discusses the two most important trade agreements of our day - namely the North American Free Trade Agreement and the European Union Treaty - in a historical and compelling analysis of maternity discrimination and employment. While many countries have maternity leave legislation, others do not. Most notable is the United States which offers some of the least protection in terms of issues such as paid leave, pensions, return to work protection, and flex/work from home. By providing a detailed examination of the relationship between maternity issues in the workplace and the law, the book will be an important read for those concerned with equality.
