Ford Foundation

4.9/5 (26445 ratings)

Description:The relationship between work and family is an issue of growing concern in the United States. The increasing participation of women in the labor force has created new demands for services, especially for low-income families, to offset women's dual responsibilities at work and home. This paper describes a Ford Foundation program to study the place of the workplace in American family life, with the following aims: (1) to broaden the knowledge base on men's and women's roles and their relation to work; (2) to provide models of employer benefit policies and work arrangements; (3) to monitor federal and state policies requiring family benefits; and (4) to promote discussion and exchange on work and family issues. The paper provides an overview of shifts in employment patterns and examines the changing roles of men and women in the workplace. The following family-responsive programs are described: (1) medical leave, including pregnancy disability; (2) family leave, including parental leave; (3) child care; (4) elder care; (5) alternative work schedules; and (6) flexible benefit programs. The paper concludes with a detailed discussion of the four-pronged approach of the Ford Foundation program. A list of 18 references is included. An appendix lists Ford Foundation grants to study work and family issues for 1987-88. (AF)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
