Abstract

In this section, a critical insight into publicly available, comparative leave policy indicators databases is given, aiming to map policy indicators which are collected to critically assess the robustness of the existing data and discuss the possibilities for improvement. Besides data that have been produced by the International Network on Leave Policies & Research (LP&R) and datasets provided by international organisations (European union – EU, Council of Europe – CoE, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development – OECD and International Labour Organisation – ILO), also the following datasets – containing either historical or up-to-date data on
leave policy – provided by research institutions and researchers are discussed
