加州的带薪家庭假（PFL）政策改善了母亲的劳动力市场结果，然而，这项计划对健康的影响研究较少。我将可能符合条件的家庭的孩子和父母的健康状况与加州PFL计划实施前后的一系列对照组进行了比较。我发现父母报告的儿童整体健康状况有所改善，母亲的心理健康状况也有所改善。研究结果还表明，哮喘发病率降低，父母更有可能觉得自己能很好地应对养育子女的日常需求。对呼吸系统或食物过敏或父亲的精神健康状况没有显著影响。该结果在多个对照组和安慰剂测试中都是可靠的。(C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
California's paid family leave (PFL) policy improved mothers' labor market outcomes, however, the health impacts of this program are less studied. I compare child and parental health of likely eligible households to a series of control groups before and after California's PFL program was implemented. I find improvements in parent-reported overall child health and suggestive improvements in maternal mental health status. Findings also suggest a reduction in asthma and a greater likelihood that parents feel they are coping well with the day-to-day demands of parenting. There are no significant effects on respiratory or food allergies, or father's mental health status. The results are robust to multiple control groups and placebo tests. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
