I GOT REYKJAVIK M&G 🎉🎉

[dead-in-the-creativity-dept]

I came to know about Olafur through Netflix’s ‘Abstract: the art of design’ series. He and his studio feature in the first episode of season 2. A M A Z I N G!!! That’s all I can say.

His work is simple, yet sophisticated. Using light, colour, geometry AND perception as the main characters in his art, he draws inspiration from nature. In fact, he has replicated it many times in large-scale exhibitions such as Beauty, Waterfall and The Weather Project.

Essential to his work is also the viewer, their ability to interact with the artwork and become part of it. For Olafur, the viewer collaborates in the making of the meaning of his pieces: ‘when you leave the exhibition, if there’s nobody in the room, there’s also no art’.

But careful, Olafur’s art is not just art for art’s sake. He is involved in a series of projects which aim to ‘turn thinking into doing’. Thus, for example, Ice Watch is a public installation designed to raise awareness about the severity of climate change using icebergs from Greenland’s disappearing glacier and Little Sun is a social business project that aims to provide light to people deprived of clean, affordable and sustainable energy worldwide. He is also involved in architectural projects exploring more organic, energy efficient and sustainable design: enter Harpa Reykjavik Concert Hall and Conference Centre and Fjordenhus.

to know more about the artist and his work, check out the official website:https://olafureliasson.net/

I promise, you won’t be dissappointed :-)

Paid Parental Leave: Working Women Call for Working Policies

photo by INTHEBLACK

by Divya Ganesan

Once upon a time in the 1970s lived a single version of a nuclear American family complete with a working dad and a stay-at-home mom who cared for the kids. The structure of an American family has changed but policies toward families have not. Today, the United States is the only developed country in the world that does not mandate paid maternity or paternity leave for working parents (Ingraham, 2018).

United States policies have not changed to address the increase of female participation in the workforce. Since the 20th century, the participation of women in the labor force has dramatically increased. From 1970 to 1990, participation increased by 25%. However, a lack of federally mandated maternity leave has meant that 40% of medium and large companies do not offer paid maternity leave to working mothers (Ingraham, 2018). As a result, there has been a trend in women working later into their pregnancies and returning soon after birth.  Laws like the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 aim to prevent discrimination against women in the workforce. Despite this act, discrimination still ensues. The number of pregnancy discrimination charges increased by 50% between 1997 and 2011 (Elting, 2018). An estimated 250,000 additional women are not given proper accommodations at their workplace. Although the Family and Medical Leave Act passed in 1993, which mandated 12 weeks of unpaid leave, moved the United States in a more progressive direction, the policy failed to mandate paid leave.

While other countries have adapted systems like paid maternity and paternity leave to equalize the workforce, the United States lags behind in 17th place. United State economic growth has the potential for further improvement through paid maternity and paternity leave. A study in 2013 showed that pregnant women still face discrimination in the job search process (Morgan, Walker, Hebl, & King, 2013). Women are more likely to sacrifice their careers to take care of their families than male partners. A Pew Research study found that 27% of women have had to quit their jobs to care for a child in comparison to only 10% of men (Graf, Brown, & Patien, 2019). 

But how does the United States compare to other countries on paid maternity and paternity leave? What are the benefits of having paid paternity in addition to paid maternity leave? Pew Research conducted an analysis of the paid maternity leave policies of 41 different countries. The smallest amount of leave given among countries, besides the United States, was 2 months. In 19 of the 41 countries, paid leave was primarily allocated for mothers. However, the most effective leave systems mandate paid maternity and paternity leave. Studies have shown that fathers who take at least two weeks of paternity leave built a stronger bond with their children and participated more in other responsibilities like changing diapers and getting up in the night (Labor, n.d.). Furthermore, studies highlight that fathers who take childcare leave are more likely to participate in child related chores 9 months later (Nepomnyaschy & Waldfogel, 2007, p. 1)

For example, Iceland’s model gives parents a combined paid leave of 9 months where parents are given 80% of their normal salary, a stark comparison to America’s policies, or rather lack thereof (Act on Maternity/Paternity, 2000). A Gallup Survey shows that since the Icelandic policy has been instated, women have developed more positive attitudes towards promotions and management positions (Act on Maternity/Paternity, 2000).  

At the federal level, the Senate and the House have multiple bills on the table that could address paid maternity and paternity leave. One such bill is the Strong Families Act  proposed by Senators Angus King and Marco Rubio that gives a 25% tax credit to firms and small businesses that offer gender-neutral parental leave. The strategy of taxation and awareness gives employers and employees positive attitudes on the policy as they are not losing money, increases consistency between states and reinforces gender equity. 

Ultimately, a system of paid parental leave will demonstrate the merited role of women in American society: to drive the world forward.
