abstract: 'The introduction of the Australian Paid Parental Leave scheme in 2011
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
provides a rare opportunity to estimate the impacts of publicly funded
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
paid leave on mothers in the first year postpartum. The almost universal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
coverage of the scheme, coupled with detailed survey data collected
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
specifically for the scheme''s evaluation, means that eligibility for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
paid leave under the scheme can be plausibly taken as exogenous,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
following a standard propensity score-matching exercise. Consistent with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
much of the existing literature, the study finds a positive impact on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mothers'' taking leave in the first half year and on mothers'' probability
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of returning to work in the first year. The paper provides new evidence
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of a positive impact on continuing in the same job under the same
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conditions, where previous conclusions have been mixed. Further, it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
shows that disadvantaged mothers - low income, less educated, without
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
access to employer-funded leave - respond most.'
