employers expect employees to act as “unencumbered workers,”—that is, as employees who function as if they had a full-time partner or caregiver at home—ignoring the reality of an economy in which most mothers work and most married couples are dual wage-earners. Experiences in other countries can yield insights for new U.S. workplace policies, making it easier for American workers to balance the demands of career and family.

Which practices/policies would seem to be most likely to succeed in the United States?
