abstract: 'Recovering from childbirth while trying to balance workplace demands and
|
|
|
|
stretch financial resources creates multiple stressors in the lives of
|
|
|
|
low-income families. New Jersey is one of only three states that offers
|
|
|
|
Family Leave Insurance (FLI), a program that enables parents to leave
|
|
|
|
their job to bond with and care for their new child with some financial
|
|
|
|
support. However, survey research shows that FLI is underutilized by
|
|
|
|
low-income populations. Because little is known about the experiences of
|
|
|
|
low-income working parents in New Jersey who have used FLI, it has been
|
|
|
|
impossible to understand why this is the case. This qualitative study
|
|
|
|
used Framework analysis to explore low-income mothers'' experiences
|
|
|
|
balancing work and a new child with or without New Jersey FLI, pinpoint
|
|
|
|
barriers to FLI use, and identify ways to improve the program. Through
|
|
|
|
focus groups and individual interviews, researchers found that lack of
|
|
|
|
worker awareness and employer support are major barriers to FLI use. In
|
|
|
|
addition, confusion about the program and administrative inefficiencies
|
|
|
|
burden those who use it and undermine FLI''s core purposes.
|
|
|
|
Recommendations for program improvement include better outreach as well
|
|
|
|
as administrative and benefit reforms to ensure that the program
|
|
|
|
effectively serves low-income working parents and their children.'
