(Washington, D.C., Tuesday,February 19, 2019) The Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation released today a new study titled, “Paid Family Leave: An Ideological Analysis.” Authored by Sven R. Larson, the paper adds much needed context to the ongoing debate over paid family leave.

From the Summary:
Given the formidable fiscal risks associated with a program of this kind – with annual costs that could amount to hundreds of billions of dollars – there is notably little in terms of real, solid debate over it.
Specifically, there is a lack of principled discussion over the role of government in the financial security of America’s families. This paper is a contribution toward that discussion.
