Abstract
This research investigates the effects of paid family leave (PFL) on infant and maternal health outcomes. The inability of the United States to guarantee all postpartum mothers paid time off has resulted in adverse effects on both infant and maternal health outcomes. I will be investigating whether infant and maternal health outcomes would be improved by a national PFL requirement. The study will also determine whether a fully or partially paid national leave would be the most effective in terms of costs and effects.
