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.'
