Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The United States pursues a laissez-faire approach in family policy, especially when compared to other industrialized democracies. It has long depended on the market to regulate childcare costs. It has implemented punitive welfare policies to redirect parents off the dole into low-wage jobs and to discourage them from bearing any more children. It has looked to fathers, many of whom face financial strain themselves, to pull single-mother families out of poverty through child support. And its family leave policy does not apply to the majority of employed Americans. Is this the approach to family that Americans want? I survey 1000 Black, white, and Latino Americans drawn from a nationally representative panel to ascertain American attitudes about state involvement in the family. In this paper, I present my findings on four domains of family policy: childcare supports, welfare, child support enforcement, and family leave. Ideally, these policies work to bridge the gap between the resources that parents have and those that they need to best care for their children. I discuss whether respondents see a role for the state in bridging this gap, what determines attitudes in this domain, and which policies Americans find most compelling.
