abstract: 'The struggle to balance work responsibilities with family obligations
|
||||
|
||||
may be most difficult for working parents of the youngest children,
|
||||
|
||||
those five and under. Any policy changes designed to ease the
|
||||
|
||||
difficulties for these families are likely to be controversial,
|
||||
|
||||
requiring a careful effort to weigh both the costs and benefits of
|
||||
|
||||
possible interventions while respecting diverse and at times conflicting
|
||||
|
||||
American values. In this article, Christopher Ruhm looks at two
|
||||
|
||||
potential interventions-parental leave and early childhood education and
|
||||
|
||||
care (ECEC)-comparing differences in policies in the United States,
|
||||
|
||||
Canada, and several European nations and assessing their consequences
|
||||
|
||||
for important parent and child outcomes.
|
||||
|
||||
By and large, Canadian and European policies are more generous than
|
||||
|
||||
those in the United States, with most women eligible for paid maternity
|
||||
|
||||
leave, which in a few countries can last for three years or more. Many
|
||||
|
||||
of these countries also provide for paid leave that can be used by
|
||||
|
||||
either the mother or the father. And in many European countries ECEC
|
||||
|
||||
programs are nearly universal after the child reaches a certain age. In
|
||||
|
||||
the United States, parental leave, if it is available, is usually short
|
||||
|
||||
and unpaid, and ECEC is generally regarded as a private responsibility
|
||||
|
||||
of parents, although some federal programs help defray costs of care and
|
||||
|
||||
preschool education.
|
||||
|
||||
Ruhm notes that research on the effects of differences in policies is
|
||||
|
||||
not completely conclusive, in part because of the difficulty of
|
||||
|
||||
isolating consequences of leave and ECEC policies from other influences
|
||||
|
||||
on employment and children''s outcomes. But, he says, the comparative
|
||||
|
||||
evidence does suggest desirable directions for future policy in the
|
||||
|
||||
United States. Policies establishing rights to short parental leaves
|
||||
|
||||
increase time at home with infants and slightly improve the job
|
||||
|
||||
continuity of mothers, with small, but positive, long-run consequences
|
||||
|
||||
for mothers and children. Therefore, Ruhm indicates that moderate
|
||||
|
||||
extensions of existing U. S. leave entitlements (up to several months in
|
||||
|
||||
duration) make sense. He also suggests that some form of paid leave
|
||||
|
||||
would facilitate its use, particularly among less advantaged parents,
|
||||
|
||||
and that efforts to improve the quality of ECEC, while maintaining or
|
||||
|
||||
enhancing affordability, are desirable.'
