- Abstract:
- Millions of Americans face financial difficulties or risk losing their jobs if they must take time off to address family needs, especially when adult and aging family members have a serious illness or disability. As our population ages, the need for more supportive workplace leave policies becomes even more important. This paper highlights three public policy solutions: unpaid family and medical leave, paid family and medical leave insurance, and earned sick time.
