Abstract: In the absence of a federal requirement for paid parental leave, it falls to individual states to decide whether to design and implement such programs. This research summary examines the evidence on the effectiveness and impact of paid parental leave policies. While other terms--such as "paid family leave," "paid maternity leave," and "paid paternity leave"--are often used to highlight specific circumstances or clarify who is eligible, this summary uses the term "paid parental leave" inclusively to encompass all types of parents who may require time away from work to care for their growing families.
