Definition of undefined

The term "maternity leave" emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, coinciding with the rise of industrialization and the growing number of women entering the workforce. It originates from the Latin word "maternus," meaning "motherly," and "leave," referring to a temporary absence from work. The term initially focused on the biological mother's role, but its meaning has evolved to encompass parental leave, reflecting the growing recognition of both parents' roles in childrearing.
