Abstract
This chapter presents an analytical model that, based on the contribution of parenting leave studies for European countries and typologies created to analyse welfare and care policies for Latin America, enables us to identify and characterize different types of parenting leave according to their quest for gender equality and universal social protection. We then apply this model and discuss the advances, continuity and challenges in parenting leave. Finally, as a result of the analysis, we close the chapter advocating for the need to consider alternatives to detach leave benefits from contributory social protection schemes and rethink the existing gender division of carework.
Description
En 2018, Juliana Martínez Franzoni obtuvo la beca de estímulo a la investigación para una investigación sobre parentalidad que dio continuidad a una investigación previa sobre cuidados en América Latina. Este artículo, enfocado en licencias por nacimiento, se relaciona directamente con sus aportes previos de investigación en esta materia y la razón por la que se le invitó a escribir el capítulo es por su trayectoria de investigación en esta temática - toda ella hecha desde la UCR.
