We find that PFL access improves job continuity among wives of individuals who are hospitalized or have surgery. Additionally, while PFL access does not affect the wives’ self-reported mental health, it reduces their use of mental health-related medication. We find no effects of PFL on parents of children who experience health shocks, suggesting that this policy is less fitting for this group of caregivers.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
