Paternity leave eligibility criteria: adopted child

Coding rules

This variable indicates whether paternity leave entitlements extend to adoptive parents, reflecting whether fathers (or partners in same-sex couples) can access paternity leave not only at the birth of a child but also in cases of adoption.

Missing values are treated as following:

-999 = No information available: This code is used when data are unavailable or could not be found.

-888 = Policy does not exist: This code indicates that data collection was intentionally not pursued because it is known that no relevant policy exists for the country-year in question, or that the policy had been formally discontinued.

-777 = Not applicable: This code is applied when a variable is conceptually irrelevant to a given policy/context, or it was not collected because it was not relevant for a specific country or paternity leave system.

Definition of paternity leave:

In this dataset, paternity leave is defined as a public paid or unpaid parenting leave program available to fathers (and to mothers in same-sex couples) during the period before and after childbirth (or adoption of a child), serving as social protection to guarantee income and/or time-off during this period. It encompasses not only statutory entitlements formally labelled as ‘paternity leave’, but also other birth-related leave schemes that may appear in legislation under headings such as ‘special/exceptional leave’, ‘family leave’, ‘partner leave’ or equivalent designations. While the dataset primarily focuses on entitlements for private-sector employees, it also includes Thailand and Malaysia where analogous paternity-type leave existed (in the data-collection period) only for public-sector employees.

The dataset does not cover father-specific entitlements within parental leave schemes or entitlements under maternity leave provisions that may be accessible to fathers under specific conditions (such as the mother’s consent, incapacity, or death). Please refer to the Global Dataset of Parental Leave (GDParL) and the Historical Dataset on Maternity Leave (HDML) for a more comprehensive overview of these paid parenting leave systems.
