abstract: 'In April 2020, nearly 1.6 billion learners were out of school. While a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
growing body of literature has documented the detrimental impact of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these closures on children, less attention has been devoted to the steps
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
countries took to mitigate the impact of these closures on working
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
families. Paid leave is recognized as an important policy tool to enable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working parents the time they need to respond to family needs without
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
risking job or income loss. This article uses a novel data set to assess
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
whether countries had policies in place prior to the pandemic to respond
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to increased care needs and the extent to which policies were introduced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or expanded during the pandemic to fill the gap. Only 48 countries had
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies in place prior to the pandemic that could be used to respond to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the care needs created by school and childcare center closures. In the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
vast majority of these countries, the duration of leave in these
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies was too short to meet the care needs of the pandemic or relied
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
on parents reserving extended parental leave options. Only 36 countries
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
passed new legislation during the pandemic, but the majority of those
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that did covered the full duration of closures. As countries continue to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
face COVID-19 and consider how to better prepare for the next pandemic,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
emergency childcare paid leave policies should be part of pandemic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
preparedness frameworks to prevent further exacerbating inequalities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The policies introduced during the pandemic offer a wide range of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
approaches for countries to identify feasible solutions.'
