abstract: 'Objective: This article examines how two recent policy extensions
affected the use and sharing of parental benefits in Canada and how this
differed by family income. Background: Paid parental benefits positively
affect economic and health outcomes. However, not all policy changes
increase leave-taking, especially among low-income families. Method:
Drawing on administrative data from 1998 to 2012, we estimate linear
probability models to examine the likelihood of either parent using
parental benefits and multinomial logit models to examine patterns in
sharing benefits. We stratify models by household income to examine how
the two policy changes affected families differently across the income
spectrum. Results: Both policies increased use more among low-income
families than those with higher incomes, which is likely due to widening
eligibility criteria that affected low-income families
disproportionately. Second, policy design induced different patterns of
sharing benefits in response to the two policy changes. In contrast to
the 2001 policy that only moderately increased sharing of parental
benefits, Quebec''s 2006 program explicitly promoted gender equality and
increased sharing of benefits across all income groups, but three times
as much for middle- and high-income families than low-income families.
Conclusion: We conclude that policy design shapes socioeconomic
inequality in newborns'' early life parental context.'
