The Diversity Project has studied international practices, some of which have been mentioned by others. We have looked at the evidence of the impact of enhanced parental leave on jobs, society and businesses. One such study, The Economics of Paid Parental Leave, published in Scientific American, found that among US employers of all sizes, including small and medium-sized businesses, which offered equal paid parental leave to men and women, 90% reported either no discernible impact, or a positive effect on profitability, turnover, productivity and morale.
