Duration of maternity benefit in original units

Coding rules

The logic of this variable is the same as the “duration of paid maternity leave” variable. However, this indicator measures the length of maternity “benefit” instead of “leave”. In case of only partly paid leave programs, the duration of benefit will not be identical with the duration of leave. For instance, the duration of benefit for 6 weeks unpaid leave would be 0 weeks, while duration of leave would be coded as 6 weeks. If the program provides only cash or in-kind benefits, the duration of benefit will be coded as a missing value. In case of lump sum payments, it is coded as “lump sum” instead of the length of the benefit.
