Cross-national family policy - i.e., fathers' parenting leave provisions

Data covers 23 countries from 1965 to 2016. Development of data sets are ongoing and supported by the European Commission (742339-ERA) and Forte (2019-00337).

For a timeline of family policy reforms with a focus on leave right for fathers/partners, see my 2023 publication in Social Politics.
