It allows parents to bond with their newborns, care for sick family members, and manage personal health issues without the stress of financial instability.

Small businesses, in particular, may struggle with the financial burden of providing such benefits. Instead, the government should incentivize companies to offer paid family leave through tax breaks or subsidies, allowing businesses the flexibility to choose benefits that align with their financial capabilities. This would balance the needs of employees while not overburdening employers, especially those with limited resources.", "role": "assistant" } ]

The cost of living varies significantly from one area to another, and a one-size-fits-all minimum wage does not account for these differences.
