Opinion: US should follow New Zealand, offer bereavement leave after a miscarriage
New Zealand enacted a new law in March 2021 expanding their existing paid bereavement leave to include the miscarriage of an unborn child, and the US should adopt the same policy, writes Leah Libresco Sargeant for the Institute for Family Studies. Additionally, women shouldn’t have to use sick time to grieve and heal after the fact, even though in some cases it is possible to do so in the US, she writes.
