Le prochain séminaire de l'ERUDITE aura lieu le jeudi 10 octobre, de 12h30 à 14h en salle Keynes. Nous aurons le plaisir d’écouter Elsa Perdix (Université Paris Dauphine), qui nous présentera un article intitulé "Maternity Leave and Family Ties Over the Life Cycle". Vous trouverez ci-dessous l’abstract :

The aim of this paper is to document the impact of maternity leave on family ties. Family ties is a key determinant of informal care over the life cycle. Thus, public policies affecting maternity leave might affect not only childcare arrangement but also elderly care arrangement later in life. We use eleven countries of the survey on health, ageing and retirement in Europe (SHARE). We analyse the impact of maternity leave on distance to parent, emotional closeness and informal care provision. Because of reverse causality issues, we use changes in legal maternity leave duration in Europe between 1970 and 2000 as an instrumental variable. We find that maternity leave increases the probability of living further from their parents, but do not affect emotional closeness to parents, nor probability of providing care to their elderly disabled parents. This paper bridge a gap in the literature on the impact of maternity leave and inform policy makers that while maternity leave does not seem to affect the probability of providing informal care, it might affect the burden of caregiver by increasing their distance to care-receiver.
