The Effect of Parental Paid Sick Leave on Youth Risky Behavior : Evidence from High School Students Across the United States District from 2005-2019
This paper focuses on analyzing the implementation of parental paid sick leave (PSL) and its effects on youth risk behavior in the United States. We use data from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) 2005 – 2019 to analyze the effect of parental PSL on youth wellbeing. We evaluate PSL implementation across 12 districts, two of which are in states that implemented PSL in 2015 and three in states that implemented it in 2017. We apply the staggering difference in difference method with multiple time periods to capture the average treatment effect for the policy and an event study for each outcome of interest to capture the dynamic effects. Our main results suggest a statistically significant spillover of PSL exists on reducing substance use among adolescents at different percentage points for each substance, including marijuana, tobacco, ecstasy, heroin, and alcohol
