Actual family leave duration and total paid family leave. Note: Actual leave is imputed from the EU LFS data as the difference between the 5-year averaged (over 2003–2007) female labor force participation rate in Group 2 and Group 1 times 60. Annual participation rates (of prime age individuals) are constructed using sampling weights. Statutory duration of paid family leave is the maximum duration of total paid postnatal leave in months from The Council of Europe Family Policy Database. Permanent withdrawal countries are marked by a triangle; temporary leave countries are marked by a circle
