   With calls for mandatory paid leave on the rise, Veronique de   
   Rugy points out at Reason that such programs can “unwittingly   
   hurt” those they’re meant to help. That’s because when employers   
   offer paid leave, they trim workers’ take-home pay to offset the   
   cost. So “mandated leave would be a hard trade-off for many   
   lower-paid women.” Among women who know the trade-off, polls   
   show, support for paid leave “collapses.” Meanwhile, a ­National   
   Bureau of Economic Research paper found that the lack of a US   
   paid-leave policy makes women more likely to have full-time jobs   
   and work as managers or professionals. Alas, the many “poor   
   arguments” for paid leave only demonstrate one thing: In this   
   debate, “facts” are “too often optional.”
