Aim. This article’s goal is to present the discourse concerning paid maternity leaves in the USA in major American media outlets between the years 2014 and 2018. It is an attempt to answer the question whether maternity, caregiving work or family values are contradictory to American work ethic and regulations of the labour market.Methodology. The work is devoted to content analysis of the four most popular American online media, both liberal and conservative. Their content search engines are used to find information and articles on paid maternity leaves and to group them into different categories.Results. Three main categories are distinguished in terms of the content of 302 articles, namely articles with a positive attitude towards paid maternity leaves (248 articles – 82.10%), articles with a negative attitude (20 articles – 6.60%), and neutral articles (34 – 11.30%). In general, Americans see the long-term benefits of paid maternity leaves, but they differ when it comes to the methods of their introduction.Conclusions. There is a conflict between maternity, family values, American work culture, and regulations of the labour market. In American society, individualism, competition, and masculinity of the business culture do not support the values of nurturing and caregiving.Originality. Except for the USA, there is no other country among OECD states which does not provide paid parental leaves for working mothers. Because of the fact that the United States is known to be one of the most developed countries in the world, this information may be considered worth-studying.

母亲的价值:2014-2018年美国主要媒体的带薪产假话语

目标。本文的目的是在 2014 年至 2018 年期间,在美国主要媒体上展示有关美国带薪产假的论述。试图回答生育、照顾工作或家庭价值观是否与美国职业道德和劳动力市场法规。方法论。该作品致力于对美国最受欢迎的四种在线媒体(包括自由派和保守派)进行内容分析。他们的内容搜索引擎用于查找有关带薪产假的信息和文章,并将它们分组到不同的类别中。结果。302篇文章内容分为三大类,即对带薪产假持积极态度的文章(248篇——82.10%)、消极态度的文章(20篇——6.60%)、和中性文章 (34 – 11.30%)。总的来说,美国人看到了带薪产假的长期好处,但在引入方法上却有所不同。结论。母性、家庭价值观、美国工作文化和劳动力市场法规之间存在冲突。在美国社会,商业文化中的个人主义、竞争和阳刚之气并不支持培育和关怀的价值观。独创性。除美国外,经合组织国家中没有其他国家不为在职母亲提供带薪育儿假。由于众所周知美国是世界上最发达的国家之一,因此这些信息可能被认为值得研究。但在介绍方法上却有所不同。结论。母性、家庭价值观、美国工作文化和劳动力市场法规之间存在冲突。在美国社会,商业文化中的个人主义、竞争和阳刚之气并不支持培育和关怀的价值观。独创性。除美国外,经合组织国家中没有其他国家不为在职母亲提供带薪育儿假。由于众所周知美国是世界上最发达的国家之一,因此这些信息可能被认为值得研究。但在介绍方法上却有所不同。结论。母性、家庭价值观、美国工作文化和劳动力市场法规之间存在冲突。在美国社会,商业文化中的个人主义、竞争和阳刚之气并不支持培育和关怀的价值观。独创性。除美国外,经合组织国家中没有其他国家不为在职母亲提供带薪育儿假。由于众所周知美国是世界上最发达的国家之一,因此这些信息可能被认为值得研究。商业文化的竞争和阳刚之气不支持培育和关怀的价值观。独创性。除美国外,经合组织国家中没有其他国家不为在职母亲提供带薪育儿假。由于众所周知美国是世界上最发达的国家之一,因此这些信息可能被认为值得研究。商业文化的竞争和阳刚之气不支持培育和关怀的价值观。独创性。除美国外,经合组织国家中没有其他国家不为在职母亲提供带薪育儿假。由于众所周知美国是世界上最发达的国家之一,因此这些信息可能被认为值得研究。
