Dear Friends,

A new publication from the Center for the Study of Social Policy lists family and medical leave (unpaid and paid) as 1 of 20 effective state policies to enhance a family's opportunity and stability. The report assembled research on effective policies in the following areas: employment, income and asset growth, health, education, and healthy family relationships. Below is a copy of the full report, and you can also find report cards for all 50 states and the District of Columbia at The Center for the Study of Social Policy.
