3	Paid Parental Leave in the United States: Reconciling Competing Demands Joseph, Sydney 01 January 2018 (has links) The United States is the only developed nation that fails to provide its citizens with paid parental leave. The lack of parental benefit provision operates to the detriment of individuals and society as a whole by contributing to inequity across gender, race, socioeconomic status, and sexual orientation. As the demographics of the American workforce have changed, public policy has not kept pace. Paid parental leave is associated a number of health, economic, and social benefits. However, the greatest barrier to legislating paid parental leave is the philosophical underpinnings of American politics, specifically the strong current of liberal individualism and absence of maternalism. This thesis examines the policy option space for paid parental leave in the United States and recommends a paid parental leave policy that is gender-neutral and has a combination of three months individual leave and three months of shared leave at 100 percent wage replacement. paid parental leave maternity leave paternity leave parental benefits maternalism American Politics Economic Policy Family, Life Course, and Society Gender and Sexuality Health Policy Inequality and Stratification Policy Design, Analysis, and Evaluation Policy History, Theory, and Methods Political Theory Politics and Social Change Public Policy Social Policy Social Welfare
