Editorial reading guide · Trust
Does a trustworthy leave policy let employees make family plans on their own terms?
Examines leave coverage and childbirth planning, making clear that employers can support reproductive choices without treating intention measures as births or organizational targets.
Study context
324 married working women at baseline in the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families, 2016–2020.
Age / stage: Adult married working women; childbirth intentions.
Read with three questions
- How were leave-system coverage and childbirth plans measured across waves?
- How did leave support compare with subsidies in the analysis?
- Why should an association with planning never become an employer expectation about having children?
Keep the limits in view
A small observational panel measures stated plans, not realized births or causal effects; findings concern married Korean working women and are not universal fertility guidance.
