1. review information regarding the range of policy instruments and designs to promote leave-taking for the care of newborn and young children with particular attention to innovative approaches and the policy rationales that underlie programmatic measures;
2. provide a critical review of published information from across academic disciplines to examine evidence for the impacts of parental leave policies; and
3. discuss knowledge gaps in the existing research and propose questions for future policy-relevant research.
