abstract: 'Objective: Parental leave and breastfeeding breaks influence the ability
to initiate and continue breastfeeding. We investigated how eligibility
criteria in the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Affordable Care
Act (ACA) affect access to unpaid parental leave and breastfeeding
breaks and assessed affordability and alternative policy models.
Methods: We used family income data to assess the affordability of
unpaid leave by race and ethnicity. We used 2017-2018 US Current
Population Survey data to determine the percentage of private sector
workers aged 18-44 years who met the minimum hour (1250 hours of work
during a 12-month period), tenure (12 months), and firm size (>= 50
employees) requirements of FMLA and ACA. We analyzed eligibility by
gender, race and ethnicity, and age. We also examined parental leave and
breastfeeding break policies in 193 countries. Results: Most Latinx
(66.9\%), Black (60.2\%), and White (55.3\%) workers were ineligible
and/or unlikely to be able to afford to take unpaid FMLA leave. Of 69
534 workers, more women (16.9\%) than men (10.3\%) did not meet the
minimum hour requirement. Minimum tenure excluded 23.7\% of all workers
and 42.2\% of women aged 18-24 years. Minimum firm size excluded 30.3\%
of all workers and 37.7\% of Latinx workers. Of 27 520 women, 28.8\%
(including 32.9\% of Latina women) were excluded from ACA breastfeeding
breaks because of firm size. Nearly all other countries guaranteed
mothers paid leave regardless of firm size or minimum hours and
guaranteed >= 6 months of paid leave or breastfeeding breaks.
Conclusions: Adopting a comprehensive, inclusive paid parental leave
policy and closing gaps in breastfeeding break legislation would remove
work-related barriers to breastfeeding; reduce racial, ethnic, and
gender inequities; and align US national policies with global norms.'
