Panel to Dissect Paid Family and Medical Leave

Faculty members Ann O’Leary ’05, Gillian Lester, and Stephen Sugarman of the Berkeley Center on Health, Economic & Family Security will discuss their proposals and key issues in the area of work-family policy on Feb. 10 (3:30-5 p.m., Goldberg Room). In December, the center issued a report with the Georgetown Law Center to explore the best policy model in the United States—one of the few developed countries that does not provide workers universal paid family and medical leave benefits. Their report asserts that such leave increases the economic security of workers and the well-being of children, elderly adults, and disabled workers.
