Perspectives on the Family and Medical Leave Act (1993). This paper addresses the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. It examines why it was created and passed, as well as its effects - both positive and negative - on the economy and the workplace. The Act provides unpaid leave for both parents when a child is born, but many choose not to take this leave because it is unpaid.
