Donald J. Trump on Tuesday proposed universal paid maternity leave and new subsidies for child care, departing in some ways from Republican orthodoxy. In most respects, his plan is significantly less generous than what Hillary Clinton has called for, and both are far less expansive than the benefits offered by most developed nations.

Here is a look at Mr. Trump’s plan and how it stacks up.

What is Trump’s maternity leave proposal?

Mr. Trump’s plan would, for the first time, guarantee working mothers in the United States paid leave from their jobs when they give birth or adopt.

He proposed requiring employers to give six weeks of maternity leave, with payments made by the unemployment insurance system.

New mothers would be paid the same amounts they would collect in unemployment benefits if they had been laid off, which is usually a small fraction of a person’s normal wages and varies enormously from state to state. The maximum unemployment benefit ranges from $240 a week in Arizona to $722 in Massachusetts.
