Mapping State Policies

The Sloan Network understands that policy trends can be difficult to conceptualize. We have created maps of some of the trends we have researched in order to create a user-friendly, and sometimes dramatic, visualization of trends in state polices.

Policy Briefing Series—these maps outline legislation on the following topics:

• Afterschool Care
• Breastfeeding and the Workplace
• Dependent Care Tax Assistance
• Domestic Violence and the Workplace
• Flexible Work Schedules
• Low Wage Workers
• Military Families
• Older Workers
• Paid Sick Days
• Part-Time Work
• Phased Retirement
• Shift Work
• Telework
• Time Resources

Demographic Maps:

• Population age 55+ by state unemployment rates

• Projected population age 55+ (2010) by state unemployment rates

• Percentage of dual-earner families by number of time-resource bills introduced

• 2005 State-by-State Age Demographics:
               • Children Under Age 5
               • Children Ages 5-19
               • Adults 20-24
               • Adults 25-54
               • Adults 55-74
               • Adults 75 and over
