abstract: 'To describe a range of employment benefits, including maternity and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
other paid leave, afforded to working women with infants; and to examine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the geographic, socio-demographic correlates of such benefits to inform
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the workplace policy agenda in the US. Using data from the Listening to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mothers II Survey, a national sample of English-speaking women who gave
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
birth in 2005, we conducted multivariable linear and logistic regression
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analyses to examine the associations between socio-demographic factors
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and employment leave variables (paid maternity, sick and personal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
leave). Forty-one percent of women received paid maternity leave for an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
average of 3.3 weeks with 31 \% wage replacement. On average women took
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
10 weeks of maternity leave and received 10.4 days of paid sick leave
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and 11.6 days of paid personal time per year. Women who were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
non-Hispanic Black, privately insured, working full-time, and from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
higher income families were more likely to receive paid maternity leave,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for more time, and at higher levels of wage replacement, when
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
controlling for the other socio-demographic characteristics.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Race/ethnicity, family income and employment status were associated with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the number of paid personal days. Currently, the majority of female
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employees with young children in the US do not receive financial
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
compensation for maternity leave and women receive limited paid leave
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
every year to manage health-related family issues. Further, women from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disadvantaged backgrounds generally receive less generous benefits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Federal policy that supports paid leave may be one avenue to address
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
such disparities and should be modified to reflect accepted
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
international standards.'
