Long Run Outcomes of Children. Retrieved Jan 30, 2015: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1872741
This paper discusses the benefits that children receive when parents are given longer maternity leave. The data is used from a policy reform in Norway comparing children born before the new law to children born after this law. This source is incredibly helpful because it essentially proves why countries should be offering benefits to parents after a new child has come into the family.

This paper took a look at the effects of maternity leave benefits from a different angle. While most sources focused on the well-being of the child and happiness of the parents, this source examined the physical effects on the mother when she goes back to work too soon after having the baby. This source will be useful because it looks at physical effects on a woman. Many people can try to deny emotional effects, but physical evidence can not be denied.

This paper was of particular interest because it takes the top competitive economies from around the world and compares that paid parental leave of each country. Then, the authors go a step further and compare the countries with consistently low unemployment rates using parental leave.

This paper takes a look at a reformation that occurred in Germany in 2007. This source, however, takes an approach using breastfeeding as a large part of why mothers should not be returning to work as quickly as they had been after giving birth.

Gretchen reports that the United States is essentially last in the list of countries who provide benefits for parents of new children. The article contains a graphic comparing many countries. Gretchen even goes so far as giving fact on which countries provide benefits to new fathers, as opposed to many articles which contain numbers on mothers alone.

Taylor Tepper is an author and father. He writes about the experience of having a child and what effect paid paternity/maternity leave can have on a household budget here and around the world. The article is rather short, but does contain some information from a person who has gone through the experience firsthand.

The facts contained in this article were surprising, but after researching a little further, this article might not contain enough information that relates to the other information that has been gathered and will be contained in the final paper.
