Abstract
In 2013, Vietnam expanded its paid maternity leave from four to six months. This study evaluated whether the expansion of Vietnam’s paid maternity leave policy was associated with improved long-term labour market outcomes for Vietnamese women. We used a regression discontinuity design to evaluate the impact of this policy on the probability of women holding a job and a formal labour contract three to five years after giving birth. Implementation of the policy was not associated with an overall increase in the probability of holding a paid job (RD = −1.9 percentage-points, 95% CI = −4.0, 0.1) or paid job with labour contract (RD = −2.6 percentage-points, 95% CI = −5.3, 0.1). Expansion of the policy was associated with a decreased probability of holding a formal labour contract among women with an upper secondary school education (RD = −3.6 percentage-points; 95% CI −6.4, −0.8) and without other young children (RD = −4.6 percentage-points; 95% CI = −7.9, −1.4). Our analyses suggest that Vietnam’s implementation of an expanded paid maternity leave policy has not translated to an increase in the probability of holding a paid job or formal paid job three to five years after giving birth.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
