The Parental leave crisis: Toward a national policy

From Library Journal
The purpose of this book is to support federal legislation for a national leave policy. Zigler and Frank have brought together a wealth of research that documents parental leave policies in the United States and other countries; explores the social and psychological benefits of parental leave for the child, parents, family system, and workplace; and examines legal, political, and financial questions and options. Authors include such well-known figures as T. Berry Brazelton, Sheila Kamerman, and Representative Patricia Schroeder. A well-organized and authoritative collection that illustrates how social science research can clarify and contribute to crucial social policy issues. Highly recommended for academic and public libraries. Donna L. Schulman, NYU Libs.
