From CalMatters: For women with spouses who have serious medical issues, access to paid family leave reduces the likelihood that they leave work, according to a new study.
published Dec. 12, though, finds that access to paid family leave decreases the likelihood that women leave their job if their spouse has serious health issues.
Women with spouses who had health issues saw the largest benefit. While all women were working at the outset, after their spouses had surgery or were hospitalized, roughly 10% of women left their jobs. The study’s finding was concentrated among women with 12 or fewer years of education. Many women without college education work in low-paying jobs that don’t offer paid family leave benefits, Rossin-Slater said, so “in the absence of having a state-level program, these women by and large are left to kind of fend for themselves.”
Priyanka Anand, a health economist at George Mason University who has also studied the impacts of paid family leave, said she liked the research, particularly because it focuses on non-parental uses of paid leave, which has gotten little attention from researchers.
