The indicator assesses whether law provides paid maternity leave. Score=1 if the length of paid leave for mothers is at least 98 calendar days. Score=0 if there is no paid leave. If the length is between 1 and 97 days, the score is calculated using a linear function, such that the score increases as the length of leave increases.
