Paid Family Leave and Children Health Outcomes in OECD Countries 2020-07-18 .txt text/plain 6799 328 58 Many OECD countries, except for the United States, have adopted paid family leave and a large body of literature has examined the effect of these leave policies on health outcomes for children. While the important role of caregivers during the neonatal period is clear, most research has examined the impact of employment leave after birth for mothers-with little to no work focusing on the impact of paid paternity leave on health outcomes of children. To address this gap, this study examines the separate effects of paid maternity and paternity leave policies on the health outcomes of children in OECD countries during the period of 1990 to 2016. The findings of this study are beneficial in understanding the lagged impact of paid family leave, including maternity and paternity leave, on the health outcomes of children. ./cache/cord-328709-bqf3d6r3.txt ./txt/cord-328709-bqf3d6r3.txt
