Fathers taking leave: evaluating the impact of shared parental leave in the United Kingdom
We study the effect of the introduction of the UK Shared Parental Leave policy in 2015 on both the uptake and the length of leave taken by fathers. Using data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study and a regression discontinuity in time design, we find no evidence that the reform increased either uptake or length of paternal leave, reinforcing questions about its effectiveness.
