| Abstract: | This paper analyses the extent to which individual and workplace
characteristics and regional policies influence the use and duration of
parental leave in Spain. The research is based on a sample of 125,165
people, and 6,959 parental leaves stemming from the ‘Sample of
Working Life Histories’ (SWLH), 2006. The SWLH consists of
administrative register data which include information from three
different sources: Social Security, Municipality and Income Tax
Registers. We adopt a simultaneous equations approach to analyse the
use (logistic regression) and duration (event history analysis) of
parental leave, which allows us to control for endogeneity and censored
observations. We argue that the Spanish parental leave scheme
increases gender and social inequalities insofar as reinforces gender
role specialization, and only encourages the reconciling of work and
family life among workers with a good position in the labour market
(educated employees with high and stable working status). |
