Female labour market outcomes and the impact of maternity leave policies
Sunday 5th May 2024
IZA Journal of Labor Economics
Low, H. and Sanchez-Marcos, V.
This paper shows how family policies aimed at reconciling the pressures of family and
work generate substantial variation in labour market outcomes across developed
countries. We use a life-cycle model of female labour supply and savings behaviour,
calibrated to the US economy, to assess the effect of introducing to the US a maternity
leave policy similar to Scandinavian-type policies. We focus on the impact on gender
differences in participation and in wages. We distinguish between the effect of the job
protection offered by maternity leave and the effect of income replacement. Job
protection leads to substantial increases in participation of mothers with children
under 6, but with little long term effects. The effects on wages are minimal, with
negative selection effects offsetting the reduced human capital depreciation. Income
replacement has a limited impact on participation or wages.
