Family Business
Striking a balance between earning income and caring for family members is a daunting challenge with high stakes. Working conditions have long-term effects on the health, education and welfare of our children, and shape our ability to care for disabled and elderly family members.
When it comes to critical issues affecting families including maternity and paternity leave, sick leave and education, where does your country stand? Today, the 11th annual UN International Day of Families, turn to the WORLD Policy Analysis Center and their new website, WORLDPolicyForum.org, to find out where your country, your neighbors, and the world stand on these global issues of vital importance.
The WORLD Policy Analysis Center is the first and largest data center to provide quantitatively analyzable data on policies in all 193 UN member states in a range of critical areas, including education, health, environment, poverty, families, adult labor, marriage, childhood, child labor, equal rights and discrimination, aging, disability, and gender.
