Question

Policymakers sometimes propose laws requiring firms to give workers certain fringe benefits, such as health insurance or paid parental leave. let's consider the effects of such a policy on the labor market.

Answer 1

I would say that the effects of such positive benefits as health insurance or paid parental leave will make the workplace much more attractive and cause a big rush to obtain employment at such places. It is well to remember that without the sacrifice of labour unions including jailings, beatings and even deaths these benefits would not be there ie they would not come just out of the goodness of someone's heart.
