Description

For the public goods and externalities arguments that are developed below in Section V to be relevant in terms of justification for leave policies, it must first be demonstrated that maternal employment in infancy does affect child outcomes and that a lack of formal leave policies does influence a mother's work surrounding childbirth. This section provides an overview of the relevant literature concerning these effects. In this literature, the effects of maternal employment are emphasized rather than the effects of father's employment for two reasons: (1) mothers are more affected by the physical demands of birth and (2) mothers in the United States are still the primary caregivers for infants. In addition, among all new fathers, the percentage of cases where fathers withdraw from the labor market or substantially reduce their work hours to care for newborn children is very small.
