senator ernst? sen. ernst: thank you. ranking member, chair cassidy, think for inviting me to testify before you today. i also want to thank my dear friend and colleague, kirsten gillibran of new york. thank you for being an important voice on this issue. the issue of paid leave is incredibly important. fathers,of mothers, ran parents, and families across the country struggle with the realities of child birth and infant care, while hard to put food on the table and raise strong and healthy families. it is long overdue that congress not just have a conversation on these matters, but get serious about a path forward. thatmother myself, i know being a parent is never an easy task. additionally throughout my career i have worked with and heard from numerous working parents, and routing goes on my own staff who have troubled to navigate the challenges of alanson work with the need to provide safe and supportive care for their new babies. toe are fortunate enough have paid benefits provided by their employers. however, many fam

as you heard testimony on the ernst proposal and mr. bigs had similar views, they limited to parental leave. you obviously did something more than that. medical leave and caregiver benefits. could you talk about that decision to do much larger than family leave. >> so we realized that all our people were vulnerable to some element of care giving need brought about by a number of factors with so many generations in the workforce the , changing nature of care giving. that was supported by the market data that i referenced in my testimony. the 88% of respondents would place a value on a broader policy to include family care. while we think that the baby boomer generation is most impacted by care giving needs, data from multiple sources points to how this impacts all generations generations. so a recent study indicates that millennials spend 21 hours a week on care giving duties. we realize that if we wanted to truly support our people in the way they needed, we needed to broaden the scope of our offering to include broader leave. brown: wo
