abstract: 'Background: Paid maternity leave (ML) has been associated with better
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health outcomes in mothers and new-borns. However, its protective role
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in mothers'' employment after childbirth remains unclear. Objective: To
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
assess the association between paid ML and being employed 1-year after
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
childbirth. Methods: As part of the INfancia y Medio Ambiente (INMA)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cohort study, 507 Spanish women employed at 12th week of pregnancy, were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
asked about their employment status and job characteristics at 32nd week
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of pregnancy. One year after childbirth, they were re-interviewed about
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their employment status and if they had taken paid ML. Incidence of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
maternal employment 1-year after childbirth was estimated. Crude and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adjusted associations with paid ML were assessed by logistic regression,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and characterized by odds ratios (ORs) with associated 95\% CIs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results: Information was obtained from 398 women. Of those, 290 (72.9\%)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were employed 1-year after childbirth. Incidence of maternal employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
was lower for those who: i) didn''t take paid ML, ii) were younger than
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
27 years; iii) had temporary contract, iv) had part-time jobs, v)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reported less-favoured familiar social class, and vi) left the job
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
before 32 weeks of pregnancy. Being employed 1-year after childbirth was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more common in those who took paid ML (OR 2.7, 95\% CI 1.6-4.5), also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
after adjusting for staying at work until advanced stages of pregnancy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(OR 1.8, 95\% CI 1.0-3.1). Conclusions: Taking paid ML seems to be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with higher maternal employment rates 1-year after
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
childbirth. Therefore, our findings suggest that protection of maternity
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
might positively influence women''s labour market participation after
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
childbirth.'
