Neue Publikation unter der Mitarbeit von Lili Vargha und Eva-Maria Schmidt

Eva-Maria Schmidt and Lili Vargha have contributed to the European Parenting Leave Policies (EPLP) Dataset as country experts. The EPLP Dataset provides harmonised data on maternity, co-parent, paid parental, and job-protected leave regulations across 21 European countries from 1970 to 2024.

By covering 33 variables on leave duration, benefits, flexibility, and incentives for sharing leave between couples, the dataset enables analyses of policy trends, cross-national differences, and the effects of major reforms – for researchers, policymakers, and others interested in family policy.
