Abstract	The United States is the only OECD country that does not guarantee a right to paid maternity leave. Evidence suggests that improving access to paid leave in the United States has health and economic benefits for families. This fact sheet summarizes the estimated economy-wide benefits of state programs of paid family leave in terms of increasing women's labor market attachment. The research summarized here employs an event-study difference-in-differences analysis, which compares labor market participation of women with young children born before and after policy implementation, and then compares that change over time to analogous changes in labor market participation for women in the same state with no minor children in the home. The analysis relies on the Current Population Surveys from 2000 to 2019 and focuses on prime-aged working adults (aged 25 to 54) in California and New Jersey, where paid family leave legislation was implemented in 2004 and 2009, respectively.
