Why do the French have children earlier with lower postnatal depression rates? Why are some employers able to retain working parents while others are not? Where Parents Thrive explores what France and other countries (such as the Nordics) are doing well to allow parents to thrive at home and at work, it reviews cultures and policies across the world, and it proposes tools that governments, companies, and individuals can implement to stay afloat. Where Parents Thrive also analyzes the consequences when these support systems are not in place. You will read about Bhavna, an American and Indian living in London, whose husband only took two weeks of paternity leave even though he was entitled to six months. About Gaby, a Peruvian living in Adelaide, Australia, who got diagnosed with post natal depression more than a year after giving birth. About Marion, a Parisian in a dual career couple who manages to juggle it all thanks to her wonderful husband and despite childcare unreliability.Taking you through the pieces of the puzzle that need to fall in place for working parents to thrive (i.e. childcare, parental leave, open mindedness, agility, etc.) and for employers to retain them, this book provides a framework for couples that still haven't decided where they want to settle and for organizations that are seeing the parents in their leadership track walk away.For fans of Emily Oster's Expecting Better and Erin Meyer's The Culture Map.
