2013

This is a rapid health impact assessment of S.B. 9-20-SD2, which would require all employers in Palau to provide up to three months maternity leave to pregnant employees, with an optional additional month of unpaid leave. It finds the policy would likely have positive health benefits for mothers and children, as well as developmental benefits for children.
