Description

This groundbreaking work examines family leave policy in the United States from its origins at state level in the early 1980s through the adoption of the federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 and beyond. Written in an accessible case study format, the book explores the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of family leave policies with a political economy perspective. Drawing on original primary research, it identifies the major economic and social forces affecting both family and workplace, and examines how the political system has responded to this evolving issue. Published by Routledge as part of the Issues in Work and Human Resources series, this hardcover volume provides essential insight into the intersection of labour policy, family dynamics, and economic forces shaping American working life.
