- Title
How paid family leave affects mothers in the labor force.
- Abstract
The article offers information on the impact of paid family leave (PFL) on mothers' labor force participation in the U.S. as well as on a survey that examines the trend of taking leaves by new mothers in California, which has implemented a PFL Program. It informs that the labor force participation rate for mothers with children under 3 years old in 2010 in the U.S. was 61.1 percent. It reflects that laws related to paid leave for new mothers have not changed even though there has been a substantial growth in the participation by mothers in the labor force. It states that the U.S. does not have a federal law which provides entitlements to PFL to new mothers.
