Does maternal protection reach the workers with the least formal security?
Distinguishes leave provision from the broader arrangements needed for feeding and care, highlighting gaps for workers outside protected formal employment.
Study context
Ethiopian maternity and breastfeeding protections compared with international standards and other countries’ experience.

- Which recommendations are policy arguments rather than evaluated interventions?
Keep the limits in view
