dc.description.abstract | We investigate the effects of maternity leave coverage on women?s post-birth wages, jobtenure, and labor market attachment. We pay particular attention to unobservablecharacteristics that are correlated with maternity leave coverage and that affect labor marketoutcomes. We use a control sample, as well as a range of control variables, to addressunobserved heterogeneity. We find evidence of substantial selection based on unobservedheterogeneity. Maternity leave effects on the three outcomes are found to be small and shortlived.This finding is understandable given that most policies in the United States allow leavesfor only 12 weeks at most. | en |
