Popis:	107 The parental leave policy reform in Taiwan in 2009 greatly encouraged mothers to exploit parental leave. We study the consequences of taking parental leave on postpartum career outcomes using an administrative dataset of Employment Insurance and Labor Insurance that covers almost all workforces. We adopt an instrumented difference-in- difference design to estimate the effects of taking parental leave on later labor supply and wage. We find that taking parental leave leads to a 12.3% decrease in the prob- ability of being employed and a 1975 NTD (approximately 7%) decrease in insured wages 4 years after childbirth. We also find that part of the wage loss is due to loss of experience during parental leave.
