Belgium Pioneers Legal Protections for Sex Workers with Maternity and Pension Rights

Belgium has enacted a groundbreaking law granting sex workers official employment rights, including maternity leave, health insurance, and pensions, marking a global first. This legislation aims to improve the safety and working conditions for sex workers, treating their profession like any other job. While some view this as a positive step towards recognizing sex workers' rights, critics argue it could normalize exploitation. The law also imposes strict regulations on employers, potentially reducing their power over workers. This move follows protests for better labor laws during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Financial Burden of Parenting: Planning for Generations in Advance

Families in the U.S. are planning generations in advance due to the lack of adequate parental leave policies and financial support. With only 21% of parents having access to paid parental leave in the U.S., compared to legal requirements abroad, parents are taking matters into their own hands. They are saving for their children's maternity leave and even their grandchildren's college expenses. The financial burden of raising a child, including pregnancy costs, childcare, and education, is prompting parents to plan early to ensure their children have the necessary support and opportunities. The gender pay gap and the "motherhood penalty" further emphasize the need for better support systems for working mothers.
