Prenatal and neonatal development

The prompt is below. I attached the textbook to cite (CH 3 & 4) in addition to the PowerPoint to make it easier. Thanks!

Government Support

The United States has no real system for supporting couples or individuals through pregnancy and the first years of a babys life. This is not the case in many other countries. For example, France (Moore, 2006) and Sweden (De Bernardi, 1995) provide special incentives and support for people who wish to conceive and raise children.

Using the reference below, in addition to your own individually researched research citations, investigate 1-2 particular countries maternal and family support plans and present their findings. Discuss the implications for these support plans. Finally, how might you work to encourage these plans in the United States?
