 Indiana Commission for Women to host
Symposium on Paid Family Leave
Indianapols, August 8, 2018—On Wednesday, September 26,
2018, the Indiana Commission for Women (ICW) will host a Paid Family Leave Symposium
to release our study funded by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Women’s Bureau to
assess the public’s receptiveness to paid family leave. Conducted in three
parts, the research consisted of cost-benefit modeling, polling, and
qualitative research to understand Hoosiers’ perceptions of various scenarios,
including paid maternity and paternity leave and paid leave for caregivers of
ill and aging family members. The researchers will be available to provide an
overview of the study and answer any questions.
Tentative schedule:
- 12:30 – 1:00 PM - Registration

The event will be held in conjunction with
ICW’s annual Torchbearer Awards, which will take place following the Symposium
at 5:00 PM. To register for the Symposium, go to: https://inpflsymposim.eventbrite.com.
