Featuring contributions from leading international scholars of
social policy, this dynamic Research Handbook provides a
comprehensive overview of conceptual and methodological
developments in leave policy research, as well as state-of-the-art
findings on leave policy determinants and outcomes globally. The
topic of inequality is placed at the centre of the Research
Handbook, to strengthen the global debate and encourage broader
thinking about the interconnections between leave policy design and
social inequalities. Chapters illustrate the continued relevance of
this correlation in the context of gendered care and employment
practices, precarious, underinsured, and nonstandard employment,
informal economies, migration, family changes, and growing
financial strains for parents. Using parental leave policy as an
empirical lens to further our understanding of the intersectional
nature of social inequalities, the editors ultimately consider
whether there is a case to reconfigure leave policy as a social
right. This incisive Research Handbook will be essential reading
for a multi-disciplinary audience of students and scholars of
social policy, family studies, gender studies, sociology, social
work, and public policy. Its evaluation of cutting-edge
developments in leave policy will also benefit national and
international policy makers, as well as HR leaders interested in
parenting leave best practice.
