Time Out: the costs and benefits of paid parental leave, by Helen Wilkinson, Demos 1997

Parental leave gives parents time off work to spend with their children. This detailed and pioneering study by Helen Wilkinson shows how a new scheme of parental leave could be introduced into the UK with substantial benefits for parents and children, and with manageable costs for business, employees and the government. It draws on new surveys with workers and employers, analysis of parental leave schemes around the world and detailed costings of a range of options.
