Parental Leave in New Zealand 2005/2006 Evaluation

This report presents the fi ndings of that evaluation and will form the basis of further work on the parental leave scheme. It will also contribute to our growing body of research on how to support parents managing transitions between paid working and caring, and balancing these different responsibilities. A more integrated leave framework and streamlined parental leave scheme will better support the quality of the social and economic life, and health, of New Zealanders in the long-term.
