Abstract: At the federal level, the United States scored a 3.41 out of 10 for the GCPI, placing it in the middle of the “Emerging” band of the index. Its poor performance in both sub-indices makes it an outlier when compared with other high-income countries that tend to have stronger protections for both paid and unpaid care providers. The US is the only high-income country that does not provide paid maternity and paternity leave. It also lacks or has very limited federal regulations on flexible work arrangements and financial and employment protections protections during maternity leave. Other than social security, minimum wage, and overtime pay, domestic workers are not covered under most labor laws, and therefore are vulnerable to exploitation.
