What is the main purpose of maternity leave?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To protect mother and child health

Maternity leave gives a woman time before and after childbirth to protect her health and care for her newborn. Pregnancy, delivery, and early infant care can require rest, medical attention, recovery, and regular feeding. Leave also helps prevent a worker from being forced to choose between her job and essential maternal responsibilities. Proper maternity protection supports a healthier return to employment and helps maintain continuity at work.

Option B is correct because it states the central purpose: protecting the health of the mother and child. Option A is the opposite of maternity protection, since leave should not be used to remove a woman from employment. Options C and D are also unrelated; maternity leave is not meant to reduce wages unfairly or stop training permanently. Its purpose is health, recovery, infant care, and fair continuation of employment.
