Using a sophisticated simulation model to estimate worker leave access, eligibility, and usage behaviors, this study examines the distributional impact of program design elements across four programs that could provide paid family and medical leave insurance to American workers. Overall, paid family and medical leave benefits are well targeted to low wage workers, compared with moderate and higher wage workers, under all potential national programs whose effects are simulated here. Workers at all earnings and income levels would gain access to new leave benefits. Suggestions for improving the benefits to low wage workers are also discussed.

估计福利：拟议的全国带薪家庭和病假计划

本研究使用复杂的模拟模型来估计工人休假的机会、资格和使用行为，研究了可以为美国工人提供带薪家庭假和病假保险的四个项目中项目设计元素的分布影响。总体而言，与中等和较高工资工人相比，在此处模拟其影响的所有潜在国家计划下，带薪探亲假和病假福利非常适合低工资工人。所有收入和收入水平的工人都将获得新的休假福利。还讨论了改善低工资工人福利的建议。
