Conclusions • Coverage – almost universal (at theexpenseofextendingcoveragetonotemployed) • The biggest problem – level of compensation • Potential availability of parental leaves – no effect on fertility intentions (due to the size?) (Sinyavskaya, Billingsley 2011) • However, using of leaves (not too long) has positive effect on both subsequent fertility and return to employment (Gerber, Perelli-Harris 2012) 11th LPR Network seminar
