Neither Democrats nor Republicans have elevated it to the pedestal where it belongs.
Congress should give top billing to the work-family issues that are important for millions of Americans.The work-family balance topic is one of the dominant issues in American society, but you would not know this based upon the amount of attention it gets compared with immigration, guns, abortion, national defense, Social Security and Medicare, transportation, climate change and taxes.
Indeed, the work-family balance topic concerns nothing less than 18 years of the life of parents, their children and their children’s grandparents, especially regarding how the parents, the federal government, state governments, and the business, nonprofit or education employers provide funding for parents to take care of their children when they are not in school.
Advocates for family policies like paid parental leave tend to separate their advocacy from other dimensions of the overarching work-family balancing issue because they try to address one issue at a time. Because taking care of infants and toddlers is not regarded as a muscular national priority, advocates also struggle to get adequate attention for the issue.
Advocates for major family policies would do well to spell out the absolutely massive nature of the work family-balancing issue so that U.S. Representatives, U.S. Senators and the president and his Cabinet frame decisions about the many policies that concern this issue appropriately.
