How many UN nations have laws mandating paid sick leave, maternity leave and annual leave?
What is the effect of these laws on global competitiveness?
Where does Canada fall compared to nations around the world?
Should these policies be left to individual businesses or the government?
What is the effect of such policies on the workforce?
The first-ever global analysis of these issues is the focus of a new book by 成人VR视频's Jody Heymann, a leading expert on global work-family policies and founding director of 成人VR视频's Institute for Health and Social Policy. Raising the Global Floor: Dismantling the Myth that We Can't Afford Good Working Conditions for Everyone (Stanford University Press), to be released Tuesday, Nov. 17, examines the effect of these workplace supports on businesses, workers, families - and on jobs, competitiveness and economic stability.
The conclusion? Countries can afford better workplace policies, without harming their competitiveness.
