unintended consequences of long maternity leaves Francine D. Blau and Lawrence M. Kahn, “Female Labor Supply: Why Is the US Falling Behind?,” Institute for the Study of Labor Discussion Paper No. 7140, January 2013, ftp.iza.org/dp7140.pdf. Blau and Kahn show that while women’s labor force participation overall has fallen in the United States because of our lack of paid family leave, we are more likely to be managers and professionals because of this same phenomenon. They conclude: “On the one hand, such policies likely facilitate the labor force entry of less career-oriented women (or of women who are at a stage in the life cycle when they would prefer to reduce labor market commitments). On the other hand, entitlements too long, paid parental leaves and part-time work may encourage women who would have otherwise had a stronger labor force commitment to take part-time jobs or lower-level positions. Moreover, on the employer side, such policies may lead employers to engage in statistical discrimination against women for jobs leading to higher-level positions, if employers cannot tell which women are likely to avail themselves of these options and which are not.”

Legal scholars Eisgruber and Sager coined a term called “Equal Liberty” to discuss two ideas they believe are necessary for religious equality and freedom, one of which is the concept of “equal regard.”
