Replication Data for: The effect of paid maternity leave on early childhood growth in low-income and middle-income countries

Despite recent improvements, low height-for-age, a key indicator of inadequate child nutrition, is an ongoing public health issue in low-income and middle-income countries. Paid maternity leave has the potential to improve child nutrition, but few studies have estimated its impact.尽管近年来相关研究已有进展，但年龄别身高（height-for-age）偏低作为儿童营养不足的核心判定指标，仍是中低收入国家长期存在的公共卫生问题。带薪产假具备改善儿童营养状况的潜力，但目前鲜有研究对其影响开展量化评估。
