provide, on average, longer parental leave, as well as more leave to care for
children. But there is an enormous payoff to improving working conditions from
lowering long-term family poverty to improving population health and education
and increasing their associated economic and social benefits. Given the current
economic climate, can we really afford to improve working conditions for
family. What would be the payoff for doing so?
