Introduction to the Research Handbook on Leave Policy: Parenting and Social Inequalities in a Global Perspective

Today, we can look back at nearly 150 years of parenting leave development. The developments in leave policies have been of different timing, intensity, and character, bringing a tremendous diversity in leave policy design worldwide and creating a vibrant research field. This Research Handbook on Leave Policy: Parenting and Social Inequalities in Global Perspective aims to deepen the understanding of complexities inherent to both leave policy research and leave policy development. In this opening chapter, we present its contribution in more detail, develop a joint terminology, and present the themes and chapter findings. The Research Handbook is organised into five sections: (I) Conceptual and analytical challenges in leave policy research ; (II) Analysing the drivers of leave policies: politics and ideas ; (III) Assessing the outcomes of leave policies ; (IV) Leave policies in comparative perspective ; and (V) Gaps and the future of leave policy research and development.
