PROSPERED Dataset - Breastfeeding breaks legislation
Harvard Dataverse
Nandi, Arijit; Ilona Vincent; Efe Atabay — 2018-05-08 Scope- Longitudinal data is available for every year between 1995-2014 for 193 UN countries. Description- This dataset captures whether women have a legislated right to breastfeeding breaks at work. The dataset includes information on whether breastfeeding breaks at work were legally guaranteed to nursing female employees, whether they were paid, and for how long they were available. The length of entitlement to breastfeeding breaks after birth is captured in terms of the age of the child. For countries that legislate the length of breastfeeding breaks in terms of time after a mother has returned to work and also provide paid maternity leave, the length of breaks is the sum of maximum post-birth paid maternity leave and the breastfeeding break entitlement.

PROSPERED Dataset: Minimum Age for Marriage
Harvard Dataverse
Nandi, Arijit; Ilona Vincent; Efe Atabay — 2018-05-08 This dataset captures the minimum age at which boys and girls can legally marry. It also identifies whether exceptions can be made to minimum age laws. The database is coded for girls and for boys separately, so it is possible to analyze gender. Scope: For the minimum age and minimum age with parental consent variables, longitudinal data is available for every year between 1995 and 2012 for the 121 countries that have been surveyed by either the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) or the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) at least once between those dates. Variables on other exceptions to minimum age of marriage are not available for the years 1995 to 1998.

Harvard Dataverse
Nandi, Arijit; Ilona Vincent; Efe Atabay — 2018-05-08 This dataset captures whether women have a legislated right to paid maternity leave and/or parental leave. Longitudinal information on maternity leave policies includes whether paid leave was available for mothers to care for their infants, its length, and the rate at which wages were replaced. Length of leave was recorded in weeks without distinguishing between what portions of the leave have to be taken before and after the birth of the child. Scope: Longitudinal data is available for every year between 1995-2013 for the 121 countries that have been surveyed by either the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) or the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) at least once between those dates.

PROSPERED Dataset: Minimum wage policy
Harvard Dataverse
Nandi, Arijit; Ilona Vincent; Efe Atabay — 2018-05-08 This dataset captures whether a minimum wage policy exists in a country and quantifies the monthly minimum wage level over time. The minimum wages recorded in this database apply only to private sector workers, unless it is stipulated in the sources that private sector minimum wages cannot be lower than public sector minimum wages. One exception is self-declared socialist economies where the government/public sector has traditionally been one of the largest employers; in this case, we recorded minimum wage levels for the public sector. In countries where the minimum wage is sector-specific or occupation-specific, we captured the minimum wage level applicable to either the manufacturing sector or unskilled workers. Scope: Longitudinal data is available for every year between 1995 and 2013 for the 121 countries that have been surveyed by either the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) or the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) at least once between those dates.
