Comparison Infographic

Create an infographic that compares the U.S. government’s family leave policies with those in the rest of the developed world. In addition to posting your infographic, share your recommendations for how the U.S. could improve its policies and the expected benefits. Be sure to substantiate your comparisons and recommendations with evidence from current scholarly resources.
