中文摘要 | 一九九三年二月五日,美國總統柯林頓簽署「家庭與醫療假法案」(the Family and Medical Leave Act, FMLA)成為法律。家庭與醫療假法(FMLA)的頒佈代表著八年長期衝突與妥協的落幕,此一充滿黨派角力色彩的家庭假政策,適足提供吾人絕佳的個案研究題材。本文首先針對家庭假政策問題特性的歷史背景加以說明,然後採用政策形成觀點,檢視不同利益團體的努力與國會黨派的不斷協商過程。本文指出,美國家庭本質與勞動力市場雖早已產生結構性的變化,但是卻未有同步規劃新法案來滿足不同家庭與勞工需求的決策。此外,本文也認為任何單一理論皆不足以解釋美國家庭與醫療假法(FMLA)的制訂過程,惟有整合經濟、政治與意識型態等觀點始能窺其全貌。 |
英文摘要 | President Bill Clinton signed the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) into law on February 5, 1993. The eventual promulgation of FMLA represents the culmination of eight years of conflict and compromise; hence, the law constitutes and excellent case study of a family policy that became embroiled in partisan conflict. After first describing the problematic features of the law in its historical context, this study goes on to examine the partisan compromises made in Congress and the efforts of various interest groups to influence the passage of FMLA from the policy formulation perspective. This paper argues that the nature of the family and the workforce in the U.S. has changed dramatically in recent decades, and that despite this, no new legislation addressing the different needs of the family and the workforce is planned. Rather, this study concludes that no single theory alone is enough to explain FMLA's passage; only a combination of insight from economic, political and ideological perspectives will allow us to grasp the whole picture of FMLA's policy-making process in the U.S. |
