The Future of Paid Family Leave in Massachusetts: Private Responsibility or Public Good

Policy makers, scholars, and business and family advocates gathered at the Boston Foundation on April 24, 2002 to explore the legislative options in Massachusetts to provide paid leave for family members to tend to childbirth, elder care, serious illness, and other family emergencies.

The conference, sponsored by the Rappaport Institute and the Center for Women and Enterprise featured keynote addresses by the Massachusetts House Speaker Thomas Finneran and the award-winning journalist Ann Crittenden, author of The Cost of Motherhood.
