California's Paid Leave Law
On July 1, 2004 California implemented the first and only paid family leave bill in the nation's history. This article explores the formulation and passage of the law and reviews its utilization patterns and impact one year later. Included is a brief historical overview of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the role of the states in the development of leave policy before and after the passage of the FMLA; the unique political and economic …
Aging Societies and Intergenerational Equity Issues
As members of a global society that is the oldest in the history of the world, we recognize that much of the financial burden of supporting the old will be shouldered by younger workers. However, with fertility on a steady decline among industrialized societies and longevity on the rise, the challenge of the future may extend well beyond the question of who will pay for the elderly and how much. Often overlooked is the question of who will care f…
Global Aging and Intergenerational Equity
As we begin a new millennium, we are about to bear witness to a global society that is the oldest in the history of the world. The elderly population (aged 60 or over) is growing faster than all other age groups and will expand from 200 million elderly in 1950 to an estimated 1.2 billion in 2025, a six-fold increase over a 75-year period. Projections for aging populations in developing countries are even more dramatic. Whereas it took industriali…
Two Steps Forward, One Step Back
This article discusses recent efforts by states to adopt paid family leave since the original passage of the Family and Medical Leave Act in 1993. In proposing their legislation, 21 of 26 states dropped the family component of the original law and, instead, reduced coverage to baby care or parental leave. I explore the potential policy implications of what appears to be a retrenchment of the FMLA, as it shifts from an emphasis on family (includin…
Family Leave Policy
Family Policy in a Changing Vietnam
Discussed is the history of family policy in Vietnam during the 20th century. Particular emphasis is placed on the impact of the 1986 economic reforms that resulted in a shift from a socialist society to a free-market capitalistic system. Explored in more detail is the evolution of Vietnamese family law, family planning policy, the role of women and the issue of gender-equity as it relates to families, and the future of family policy in Vietnam. …
Marriage and Family Law in a Changing Vietnam
Marriage and family law in Vietnam has been greatly influenced by important historical events over the past 40 years. As a result, three major reforms have been implemented. The Marriage and Family Law of 1959 ended arranged marriages and polygamy and addressed the issue of gender equity. The Law on Marriage and the Family of 1986 clarified the legal obligations of married partners, identified more clearly parental responsibilities, and establish…
The Two-child Family
In 1994 President Hosni Mubarek of Egypt received the United Nations Population Award for both his national and international leadership on population issues. Despite decades of disappointments in addressing a rising birth rate and a maldistributed population, Egypt chose collaboration over coercion and embarked on an aggressive educational program in the early 1980s that set as its goal a "two-chi ld-family" by 2015. To accomplish its goal, the …
The White House and Congress on Child Care and Family Leave Policy
Over the last two decades four presidents produced a variety of family policy initiatives with mixed results. Carter issued his nine‐point plan on the family and convened the first White House Conference on Families in American history. Reagan created the White House Working Group on the Family and issued Executive Order 12606, which established family impact statements. George Bush continued many of Reagan's policies and pushed family values to …
Family Leave Policy in the United States
Between 1987 and 1993 twenty states and the federal government adopted family leave policies. None included any wage replacement. The similarities and differences among these policies are discussed within the context of six major categories: employees covered, company size, length of leave, eligibility, coverage of benefits, and job guarantee. Also discussed is the feasibility of adopting some type of wage replacement as well as the future of fam…
Family Policy in the State Legislature
In 1987 the Connecticut General Assembly made the first attempt in the nation's history to pass a comprehensive family policy. A total of 16 of 26 proposed bills were approved at a total cost of nearly $35 million. Included in the package was aparental and medical leave bill for state employees, a pilot program for displaced homemakers, and a bill to improve access to child day care. This study emphasizes the importance of strong party leadership…
