Abstract
  • Paid parental leave programs can buffer the effects of childbirth-related material hardship for families. However, many mothers in the United States lack access to paid leave, particularly those from ethnic and racial minority groups. Guided by R. D. Conger and Elder’s (1994) family stress model of economic hardship (FSM), this study used Oregon PRAMS data (Oregon Health Authority, 2023b) to answer the following questions: (a) What are the characteristics of mothers who use employer-provided paid leave in Oregon? (b) What is the association between employer-provided paid leave and material hardship two years after birth after controlling for other household characteristics? and (c) Does the association between employer-provided paid leave and material hardship two years after birth differ by Hispanic/Latino ethnicity? Multivariate regression analyses were used to examine the association between employer-provided paid leave and material hardship and perform ethnic group comparisons. Results indicated that (a) income was the main factor that differentiated mothers who took employer-provided paid leave from those who took unpaid leave, (b) employer-provided paid parental leave was negatively associated with material hardship presence, and (c) this association was not significant for Hispanics. A federal paid leave policy could potentially reduce uptake and outcome disparities, particularly for Hispanics and other minoritized groups.
