Abstract

We use employment data from the Current Population Survey to assess the efficacy of state-mandated paid sick leave policies on leave-taking behavior. We find that these policies increase leave-taking for caregiving for men by 10–20 percent, and this effect is strongest for men with young children. In addition, Hispanic men and men without a bachelor’s degree, who historically have had low access to paid sick leave, are 20–25 percent more likely to take caregiving leave. By comparison, these policies do not affect leave-taking for own sickness, nor do these policies affect leave-taking for caregiving among women.

谁在乎呢?带薪病假规定、护理和性别

我们使用来自当前人口调查的就业数据来评估国家强制带薪病假政策对请假行为的有效性。我们发现，这些政策使男性因照顾孩子而请假的时间增加了10 - 20%，这种影响对有小孩的男性最为明显。此外，西班牙裔男性和没有学士学位的男性，在历史上很少有机会获得带薪病假，他们休护理假的可能性要高出20%至25%。相比之下，这些政策不影响因病请假，也不影响妇女因照顾他人而请假。

期刊介绍： The goal of the National Tax Journal (NTJ) is to encourage and disseminate high quality original research on governmental tax and expenditure policies. Articles published in the regular March, June and September issues of the journal, as well as articles accepted for publication in special issues of the journal, are subject to professional peer review and include economic, theoretical, and empirical analyses of tax and expenditure issues with an emphasis on policy implications. The NTJ has been published quarterly since 1948 under the auspices of the National Tax Association (NTA). Most issues include an NTJ Forum, which consists of invited papers by leading scholars that examine in depth a single current tax or expenditure policy issue. The December issue is devoted to publishing papers presented at the NTA’s annual Spring Symposium; the articles in the December issue generally are not subject to peer review.
