Policy Matters: The Relationship Between Public Policy, Paid Family Leave, and Economic Security for U.S. Workers Presented: San Diego CA, Society for Social Work and Research Annual Conference, January 2013 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) Keyword(s): Geocoded Data; Leave, Family or Maternity/Paternity; State-Level Data/Policy Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Methods: We analyzed data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 to 2009 Panel—a nationally representative sample of individuals no older than age 30 in 2009—linked to state identifiers. All results were drawn from logistic and linear regression analyses. Our analyses controlled for a variety of individual- and state-level factors. Depending upon the analysis and sample in question, sample sizes ranged from 258 to 1,355. Results: Women in states with TDI or PFL programs are twice as likely to take paid leave following the birth of a child than are women in other states. The effect is even larger for low-income women—those who are least likely to have access to paid leave through an employer. |
