AMERICA'S FAMILY LEAVE CRISIS
AND THE COST OF DOING NOTHING
Watch

What do the United States and Papua New Guinea have in common? They are the only countries in the world without paid family leave. American families are often forced to choose between tending to a spouse or parent with an unexpected medical emergency, or keeping their job and health insurance.
2/3 of our current workforce provide care for aging family members without paid leave.
The United States is the only developed country in the world that does not guarantee paid family leave.
Every year, working families lose $20.6 billion in lost wages due to a lack of paid family and medical leave.
