abstract: 'This paper investigates the health effects of the introduction of a near
|
||||
|
||||
universal paid parental leave (PPL) scheme in Australia, representing a
|
||||
|
||||
natural social policy experiment. Along with gender equity and workforce
|
||||
|
||||
engagement, a goal of the scheme (18 weeks leave at the minimum wage
|
||||
|
||||
rate) was to enhance the health and wellbeing of mothers and babies.
|
||||
|
||||
Although there is evidence that leave, especially paid leave, can
|
||||
|
||||
benefit mothers'' health post-partum, the potential health benefits of
|
||||
|
||||
implementing a nationwide scheme have rarely been investigated. The data
|
||||
|
||||
come from two cross-sectional surveys of mothers (matched on their
|
||||
|
||||
eligibility for paid parental leave), 2347 mother''s surveyed pre-PPL and
|
||||
|
||||
3268 post-PPL. We investigated the scheme''s health benefits for mothers,
|
||||
|
||||
and the extent this varied by pre-birth employment conditions and job
|
||||
|
||||
characteristics. Overall, we observed better mental and physical health
|
||||
|
||||
among mothers after the introduction of PPL, although the effects were
|
||||
|
||||
small. Post-PPL mothers on casual (insecure) contracts before birth had
|
||||
|
||||
significantly better mental health than their pre-PPL counterparts,
|
||||
|
||||
suggesting that the scheme delivered health benefits to mothers who were
|
||||
|
||||
relatively disadvantaged. However, mothers on permanent contracts and in
|
||||
|
||||
managerial or professional occupations also had significantly better
|
||||
|
||||
mental and physical health in the post-PPL group. These mothers were
|
||||
|
||||
more likely to combine the Government sponsored leave with additional,
|
||||
|
||||
paid, employer benefits, enabling a longer paid leave package
|
||||
|
||||
post-partum. Overall, the study provides evidence that introducing paid
|
||||
|
||||
maternity leave universally delivers health benefits to mothers. However
|
||||
|
||||
the modest 18 week PPL provision did little to redress health
