Clinton vs. Trump: Where they stand on family policies

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made headlines recently with the announcement of his parental leave policy. The real estate developer described childcare policies that mark a departure from the traditional GOP stance against mandated paid parental leave. See how Trump’s ideas compare to the policies of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Of the 35 countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development — a group for highly developed economies — the United States is the only nation that doesn’t mandate paid maternity leave. It does, however, mandate that companies provide a minimum of 12 weeks of unpaid leave to expecting mothers.
