- Summary:
-
This conference report addresses the issue of parental leave, particularly maternity leave at childbirth and parenting leaves for fathers and mothers after childbirth. Growing interest in this area is attributed to the dramatic change over the past 10 years in the labor force behavior of women. Currently existing national and employer policies for maternity leaves and disability and sickness insurance are reviewed, as well as laws in other countries and five U.S. states. Conference participants adopted a policy statement involving a rationale and a proposed list of strategies for acting on children's issues after discussing potential solutions. Summaries of presentations are included for the following topics: "Medical/Psychiatric and Child Development Perspective,""Employees' Experiences,""Employer and Union Experiences,""Public Provision of Benefits,""The Catalyst Study,""Legal Issues," and "Proposed Federal Legislation." A chart comparing the non-occupational disability laws of five states (California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island) is also provided. (DST)
