The 21st International Review of Leave Policies and Related Research provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of leave arrangements across 52 countries. Produced by the International Network on Leave Policies and Research, the annual review has offered comparable, evidence-based insights since 2005. It covers maternity, paternity and parental leave, leave to care for sick children, and related measures supporting working parents, alongside early childhood education and care policies. By synthesising country profiles and cross-national comparisons, the review identifies policy trends and best practices. Widely used by researchers and international institutions, it remains a key reference for informed, evidence-based family policy design.
