The American Enterprise Institute and the Brookings Institution, two elite D.C.-based think tanks, teamed up and released a report on paid family leave Tuesday. This follows President Trump’s budget, which included a proposal to expand access to paid family leave, and demonstrates that the policy issue is gaining traction.

Rightfully so: As the new report says, changes in labor force participation and family structure have put increasing pressure on dual-earner families (and single parents). When a new child joins a family or when other medical issues come up, workers need to take time off to heal, bond and adjust. And some can’t afford to do so.
