RadioEd is a biweekly podcast created by the DU Newsroom that taps into the 黑料门鈥檚 deep pool of bright brains to explore new takes on today鈥檚 top stories.听
On election night, as voters watching the presidential race tensed up, Jennifer Greenfield breathed a sigh of relief. Colorado voters resoundingly passed Proposition 118, which provides听at least 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave to most employees in the state. Though a federal leave law has been on the books since 1993, Colorado joined a list of states pushing the envelope to expand the scope of benefits. An expert in social policy, Jennifer Greenfield, explains how the system works, how it compares to systems in other states听and why the United States lags behind the rest of the world in family leave policy.
