Infant caregiving was created to assess progress on laws that allow working parents to support their infants' caregiving needs and health through a systematic review of legislation governing paid parental leave and breastfeeding breaks at work across all 193 UN countries as of 2022. The dataset covers paid leave reserved for mothers of infants, paid leave reserved for fathers of infants, shared paid parental leave, and guarantees of breastfeeding breaks at work. The data assess key features of leave such as duration, wage replacement rate, job protection, and who is covered by paid leave laws. Longitudinal data is included on the availability of paid parental leave from 1995 to 2022.
