Abstract
The benefits of family leave have been well established for employees, their dependents, and the institutions/businesses offering the leave. Paid family leave (PFL) is associated with increased duration of breast feeding [1]—which has been shown to increase both infant and maternal health outcomes [2,3], improvement of father-child relationship quality with long-lasting effects, and increased parental satisfaction [4–6]. On the other end of the age spectrum, PFL is similarly shown to be of great benefit both for employed caregivers of older adults, as well as the increasingly aging population, with decreased utilization of nursing homes, decreased rates of depression in both the caregiver and their dependent, and decreased familial financial strain [7].
