The Effects of Father’s Parental Leave on the Second Birth in Korea

This paper analyzes the effects of father’s parental leave on the second birth using Korea Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS). Unlike previous studies, this paper estimates the effect of male parental leave. The results showed that availability of male parental leave has negative effect to second birth. We could not specify the pathway of negative effect of father’s parental leave economically, but this result implies that probably there is a negative signaling effect of opportunity cost of not working.
