[Pophealth] class issues discussed in the New York Times regarding breastfeeding

[Stephen Bezruchka]

One of my students at a summer course I was teaching at Seattle University on 
global health  analyzed reports about health issues in the media over the last 
few weeks and there was one video segment on the New York Times website where 
the issues of breastpumping at work were discussed by Jodi Kantor.  You have to 
watch an ad first but the actual video is quite revealing.  No comparisons with 
other countries of course (see 
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/globalworkingfamilies/images/report.pdf for that)

The URL for the video is

and the accompanying article useful as well.

Do look at the 143 comments posted there which describe a variety of viewpoints typical of those who read this paper, or see it on the web, that include some coments about what happens in other countries.
