Besides cross-country comparisons, the latest edition includes 51 country reports collecting respective policies regarding maternity leave, paternity leave, parental leave and other information in the context of care policies. For the first time, the review is accompanied by open-source Excel data, making it easier to reuse the data.

The International Network on Leave Policies and Research has been publishing an annual report on global leave policies since 2005. Sonja Blum has contributed to the project as a co-editor and a co-author of the Germany country note. Vietnam is a new country note joining the review this year for the first time and was authored by two researchers from Bielefeld University - Ngoc Luong and Huy Tran.
