Abstract The U.S. economy, workplace, workforce, and labor market have changed
radically in the last 50 years, yet our public and private policies
have not kept up with these changes. In recent years, policymakers have
begun considering new options for allowing workers to meet the
often-conflicting demands of work and other life obligations. These
proposals include a variety of options for time off from work—both paid
and unpaid—and more flexibility in the workplace. In this report, we
review the evidence regarding work-life conflicts, the economic case
for policy initiatives, and evidence of effectiveness of the policy
options. We provide a clear explanation of these policy options and
make recommendations for decision-makers.
