Paid Sick Leave Policies

Two papers in the November issue discuss the health implications of paid
sick leave policies.

Alina Schnake-Mahl and coauthors find that cities with paid sick leave
policies
<[link removed]>
had a COVID-19 vaccination coverage rate that was 17 percent higher than
the rates in cities without these policies.

Disparities in vaccination rates between less and more vulnerable
neighborhoods were also smaller in cities with paid sick leave policies.

In another article, Kristen Harknett and Daniel Schneider analyze data
from 2017-21 and determine that paid sick leave laws narrow gender
gaps
<[link removed]>
in access to leave for service-sector workers.

The authors indicate that in the absence of paid sick leave laws, 43
percent of men and 38 percent of women reported access to paid sick
leave. However, if these laws are present, up to 70 percent of men and
69 percent of women are covered.

"In the absence of a federal paid sick leave guarantee, the US labor
market is characterized by stark inequalities in access to these
benefits," Harknett and Schneider conclude.
