- Description
- Author explores the impact of parental leave legislation on parents by using two very different approaches: that of the United States1 and that of the Netherlands. Author examines whether parents are satisfied with their respective country’s family policies and do these policies help parents do what they intend to do—actually help parents juggle raising children, especially young children, with paid work outside the home. Author also investigates to what extent each approach to family policies really help reconcile work and family life.
