- 📢 New dataset for researchers! The new European Parenting Leave Policies (EPLP) Dataset tracks parenting leave regulations over five decades! It provides harmonised data on maternity, co-parent, paid parental, and job-protected leave across 21 countries from 1970 to 2024. 🔗 eplp-dataset.org
- By covering 33 variables on leave duration, benefits, flexibility, and incentives for sharing leave, the dataset enables quantitative analyses of policy trends, cross-national differences, and the effects of major reforms – for researchers, policymakers, and others interested in family policy.
- The European Parenting Leave Policies Dataset is part of the Skill-PAL project (Skill Loss during Parental Leave and its Role for Gender Disparities in Earnings), funded by the Austrian Academy of Sciences (DATA_2023-39_Skill-PAL).
