Maternal leave benefits (% of wages paid in covered period)

Maternity leave benefits provide crucial financial support to new mothers, reflecting the percentage of wages that are compensated by various sources during their paid leave. This metric not only highlights the economic security offered to working women as they transition into motherhood but also underscores the commitment of employers and governments to promote family welfare and gender equality in the workplace. A higher percentage indicates robust support systems that enable mothers to take the necessary time off for recovery and bonding with their newborns without incurring significant financial hardship. This indicator is vital for assessing the overall health of maternal support policies, influencing women's labor market participation, and shaping societal attitudes towards parental responsibilities.
