“…The lack of paternity-leave policies means that many women must carry double the workload of most men, fulfilling their job responsibilities as well as the majority of household responsibilities; that men do not get the same opportunities as women to develop relationships with their children; and that children are unlikely to receive as much parental care as they would otherwise benefit from. Providing paid paternity leave is essential to increase fathers' roles in the household and to enhance gender equity at home and at work, both of which have an impact on children's well-being and healthy development (Johnson et al, 1979;Taubenheim, 1981;Lamb, 1982;Anisfeld and Lipper, 1983;Nettelbladt, 1983;Mertin, 1986;Avery, 1992;Crouch and Manderson, 1995). There is substantial evidence that increases in maternal income disproportionately benefit children (Thomas, 1993;Quisumbing and Maluccio, 1999).…”

This article examines case examples of some of the consequences for children and families of average and severe economic and social disruptions, including the economic losses and failure of social supports during the transition after perestroika in Russia, the experience of poor families during economic retrenchment in Mexico, the massive asset loss in the capital of Honduras after a natural disaster, the dramatic economic contraction in Vietnam after the war, and the impact of the AIDS pandemic on both economic and social institutions in Botswana. It then considers social supports which have made a difference in acting as a buffer against the effect of economic downturns, drawing on primary data from in‐depth interviews with 2,000 families around the world, survey data on 55,000 households, and analysis of policies in all 192 members of the United Nations.

“…For example, there is no shortage of literature that underscores the importance of fathers in the family system. Almost all of it has been aimed at linking qualities of fathers and of their ties with their children to the adjustment of these children (e.g., Nettelbladt, 1983; Phares & Compas, 1992). For example, the husband's involvement in the care of young children is associated with more marital satisfaction and less depression in his wife.…”

Studies focusing on genetic and social influences on maternal adjustment will illumine mother's marriage, parenting, and the development of psychopathology in her children. Recent behavioral genetic research suggests mechanisms by which genetic and social influences determine psychological development and adjustment. First, heritable, personal attributes may influence individuals' relationships with their family members. These genetically influenced family patterns may amplify the effects of adverse, heritable personal attributes on adjustment. Second, influences unique to siblings may be the most important environmental determinants of adjustment. We derive three hypotheses on maternal adjustment from integrating these findings from genetic studies with other contemporary research on maternal adjustment. First, mother's marriage mediates the influence of her heritable, personal attributes on her adjustment. Second, mother's recall of how she was parented is partially genetically influenced, and both her relationships with her spouse and her child mediate the impact of these genetically influenced representations on her current adjustment. Third, characteristics of mother's spouse are important influences on difference between her adjustment and that of her sister's. These sibling-specific influences are unrelated to mother's heritable attributes. The current article develops this model, and [figure: see text] the companion article describes the Twin Mom Study that was designed to test it as well, as its first findings. Data from this study can illumine the role of family process in the expression of genetic influence and lead to specific family interventions designed to offset adverse genetic influences.

“…The impact of the bond between fathers and infants has been a growing area of research in recent years. 47,48 In the absence of paternity and family leave policies, men do not have the same opportunities as women to develop relationships with their children and aging family members, many women carry double the workload of most men through a combination of paid and unpaid work, children are unlikely to receive as much parental care, marriages are placed under greater stress, 49 and new mothers are more likely to suffer from maternal depression. 50 Paternity leave policies offer a significant advantage over parental leave in terms of promoting gender equality: it has been demonstrated that when leave is available that can only be used by the father, fathers are more likely to take leave and stay at home to care for a new child than when the leave available can be used by either or both parents.…”

ork shapes the lives of Canadian adults and those they care for. Two thirds of Canadian adults participate in the workforce, including over 70% of men and over 60% of women aged 25 and over. 1 Work determines Canadians' income and shapes their health by influencing where they live, framing their social environment and defining their exposures. Working conditions are one of the most important determinants of health for adults, and for the children and elderly family members they care for. In 2007, in Canada, 68% of mothers with children under age 6 were employed, as were 80% of mothers with children aged 6-15. 2 In addition, an estimated 2.85 million or more Canadians provide care and assistance to family members in need of support, 3 and almost half of these caregivers are employed either full-or part-time. 4 This article examines provincial and territorial policies in Canada with respect to three forms of paid leave that have the potential to substantially affect the health of workers and their families: paid sick leave for employees, paid leave to care for the health of family members and paid parental leave. Research has shown that taking the necessary time to rest and recuperate when sick encourages a faster recovery 5 and can prevent minor health conditions from progressing into more serious illnesses that require more costly medical treatment and longer absences from work. 6-8 Without paid sick days, working families are placed at risk economically, experiencing wage and job loss when they take time off to care for themselves or for family members. 9-12 Paid sick days make an enormous difference in adults' ability to return to work and keep their jobs after both major and minor illnesses. In a study of US nurses, paid sick days were the only benefit that was significantly associated with an increased likelihood of returning to work: nurses with paid sick days were 2.6 times more likely to return to work after a heart attack or angina. 13 Paid sick days can also benefit employers by limiting the spread of infectious diseases in the workplace. 14,15 As just one example, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that Americans stay home when sick with influenza, a disease that leads to 200,000 hospitalizations and over 36,000 deaths in an average year. 16,17 In fact, recent studies have documented that the costs incurred as a result of sick employees coming to work often surpass the costs of sick employees staying home. 18,19 In health care and service settings, providing sick days also helps protect patients and customers. For instance, rates of respiratory and gastrointestinal outbreaks are lower among residents in nursing homes that provide their employees with paid sick days. 20 Workplace policies are also essential to adults' ability to meet their families' health needs.
