Description

Hi,

I am preparing to analyse the take up of maternity/paternity leave among parents of children born into UKHLS.
Having looked at the routing for question matlv & matleave, I realised that questions about these two types of leave are either asked of those coded as "newmum" or "newdad", or of females (for matleave).
Newmum/newdad identifies only whether one is a biological parent of a child.
What happens in case of adoption? Are adoptive parents asked maternity/paternity leave question?
By law they are entitled to adoption leave which closely resembles maternity leave.

Dear Joanna,

Up to and including W12 the focus was on bio kids, so only maternity/paternity leave.
From W13 we updated the questionnaire to focus on all kids, so maternity/paternity/adoption, and to include shared parental leaves.

Best wishes,

UKHLS User Support
