A Research Agenda to Maximize the Health Equity Impacts of Paid Family and Medical Leave Policies
Breastfeeding among women employed in Mexico’s informal sector
Women employed in Mexico's informal sector face a dearth of maternity protections. According to key informants, few policies exist to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding among employed women, in general, but the economic vulnerability and challenging working conditions of women in informal employment exacerbates their situation. The lack of access to formal labor protections, such as paid maternity leave, creates a significant barrier to …
How Do I Prepare for This?” Patient Perspectives on Providers’ Employment-related Support During Pregnancy
Barriers to Accessing Paid Parental Leave Among Birthing Parents With Perinatal Health Complications
Inequities in paid parental leave across industry and occupational class
We observed substantial inequities in access to paid leave by industry sector and occupational class. These findings underscore the potential importance of universal PFL programs with universal benefits to reduce clear inequities that persist within the labor market today
Evaluating the Effect of San Francisco’s Paid Parental Leave Ordinance on Birth Outcomes
Since 2017, San Francisco's Paid Parental Leave Ordinance (PPLO) has allowed parents who work for private-sector employers to take 6 weeks of fully paid postnatal parental leave. Previous studies have linked paid parental leave with health improvements for birthing people and babies, although evidence for birth outcomes is limited. We hypothesized that the PPLO may have improved birth outcomes via reduced stress during pregnancy due to anticipati…
Racial and Ethnic Inequities in Paid Family and Medical Leave
Objectives. To examine racial and ethnic inequities in paid family and medical leave (PFML) access and the extent to which these inequities are mediated by employment characteristics. Methods. We used data from the 2011 and 2017–2018 American Time Use Survey in the United States to describe paid leave access by race/ethnicity. We present unadjusted models, models stratified by policy-targetable employment characteristics, and adjusted regression …
Public Health Benefits of Paid Family Leave Policies Depend on Equitable Policy Design
An analysis of Paid Family Leave Policies
Racial/Ethnic Inequities in Paid Parental Leave Access
Inequitable access to paid parental leave through both employers and government programs exacerbates racial inequities at birth. This form of structural racism could be addressed by policies expanding access to paid leave
The association of paid medical and caregiving leave with the economic security and wellbeing of service sector workers
Access to paid leave enables front line workers to take needed leave from work while maintaining their financial security and wellbeing
Employer-Reported Access to Paid Parental Leave
A growing body of research finds that paid leave policies have significant population health benefits for workers and their families, but the lack of a national paid leave policy in the United States leaves most workers without access to any paid leave. In 2017 San Francisco implemented the nation's first fully paid leave policy, mandating that covered employers provide up to six weeks of leave to care for a new child. The objective of our study …
Employee Experiences with a Newly Adopted Paid Parental Leave Policy
Purpose: Paid parental leave (PPL) policies offer immense opportunity to enhance health equity by providing financial stability to workers and promoting the health of families in the United States. Working in partnership with a local county government, which recently adopted a paid leave policy, we engaged in a qualitative substudy to enhance our understanding of how workers perceived and experienced the policy across levels of the socioecologica…
Understanding parental leave experiences
This research note draws selected findings from a multiple-methods study conducted in partnership with a large public-sector employer in Portland, OR to describe the added value of this approach for research translation. We focus on how our study of a newly implemented paid parental leave policy can translate to actionable steps for two important end-users: employers and policymakers. Using administrative records (N = 579), a countywide employee …
Analyzing Policies Through a DOHaD Lens
Social, health, and environmental policies are critical tools for providing the conditions needed for healthy populations. However, current policy analyses fall short of capturing their full potential impacts across the life course and from generation to generation. We argue that the field of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD), a conceptual and research framework positing that early life experiences significantly affect health tr…
Laboring Until Labor
Timing of birth
OBJECTIVES: The "dysregulated parturition" narrative posits that the human stress response includes a cascade of hormones that "dysregulates" and accelerates parturition but provides questionable utility as a guide to understand or prevent preterm birth. We offer and test a "strategic parturition" narrative that not only predicts the excess preterm births that dysregulated parturition predicts but also makes testable, sex-specific predictions of …
