"It's common here, that women on maternity take a correspondence course or learn languages, etc. Often they are more skilled at the time of their return."

If they can learn a language or take courses, why can't they come back to work?

You can learn a language at home by using Rosetta Stone software, and take correspondence courses also by staying at home. It's hard to take a baby to work. Small children require attention in fits and spurts that are not conducive to doing work that requires long periods of concentrated cooperation with other adults.
