My 2 cents.
From the employer's point of view, it's a damn gamble to employ women. Sooner or later, they need to stay away for a few months and I'd have to keep paying her, keep her job waiting for her, hire someone else temporarily to do her job (and we all know how hard working temps are).... and this might get repeated some other time.
It's a pain and that's why governments enforce the kind of rules that force the employer to go through these troubles.
From the government point of view, one person working is one person paying income tax. One woman who is allowed to have a child while still paying income tax, is a generator of future income tax, so these must be encouraged.
From the employee point of view, it's good to know that, your job is safeguarded in case you decide to have children. These children will keep the society going in the future, so they should never be considered a burden.... and they'll pay for your retirement.... if you get any. If you didn't know you'd have a job after having a baby, you'd most likely NOT have a baby, hence not replenishing the country's population, hence depleting the government of it's future income, hence ruining the country, leading to a collapsing infrastructure and we'd go back to the middle-ages....
To sum up, it's good that people want to have kids. Good for the people, good for the country. On the short term, it's not so good for the company, but if the company had it's wishes, the country would fall, and that's ultimately very bad for any company operating on a given country, methinks...
