Dear Development Sociology Colleagues,

The Policy Brief Committee is pleased to announce the publication of another brief in our ”Sociological Insights for Development Policy” series.  This month our colleagues Katy Fallon, Alissa Mazar and Liam Swiss discuss the impacts of maternity leave policies – in terms of women’s labor force participation, fertility, and infant/child mortality – in developing countries.

Best,

Brian Dill
