WORLD Legislative Repository for Family Health Needs Policies 2022

The WORLD Legislative Repository for Paid Leave for Family Health Needs Policies 2022 provides the full-text legislation used to code the WORLD Paid Leave for Family Health Needs Policies 2022 dataset. The collection includes labor legislation, social security legislation, work-family legislation, health leave legislation, and other relevant pieces of legislation governing paid leave for workers to meet their children and adult family members' health needs. All laws in effect as of January 2022 are included, whether they were recently passed or are decades old laws that are still in force. Files are separated by region and individual country files can be accessed by using Harvard Dataverse's explore function (the eye icon). The WORLD Paid Leave for Family Health Needs Policies Policies 2022 dataset is available at https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/TPG9AH and was created to assess progress on laws guaranteeing workers paid leave to meet their children and adult family members' health needs through a systematic review of legislation governing paid leave across all 193 UN countries as of January 2022. The dataset covers paid leave for children's everyday, serious, and disability-specific health needs and paid leave for adult family members' health needs, including partners and spouses, aging parents, adult children, and other loved ones who require care due to serious illness, disability, or end of life. The WORLD Policy Analysis Center (WORLD) is committed to improving the quantity and quality of globally comparative data available to policymakers, citizens, civil society, and researchers on laws and policies that work to support human rights, including economic opportunity, social and civic engagement, human health, development, well-being, and equity.
