Modern Families, Outdated Laws and What is Needed to Fix the Problem

The National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) will sponsor a Capitol Hill briefing Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2008, to discuss five key issues critical to working families. The briefing will feature comments by NCPA's newest Distinguished Fellow, Terry Neese, co-founder of Women Impacting Public Policy, who will be spearheading an examination of how public policies impact working families and small businesses. The briefing will call for:

-- An employee benefits system that meets the needs of part-time workers and working couples;

-- Labor law that recognizes the need for a flexible work hour, especially for single parents;

-- Personal and portable health insurance and other employee benefits;

-- Health care solutions for small businesses; and

-- Tax policies that do not penalize working wives.
