Note: We start counting the number of days absent with sickness benefits from the
fourth week and with disability pension from the first day within a sickness absence
spell. In all the models, we control for both the child’s and the parent-in-law’s age
and age squared. Standard errors are in parentheses. Statistical significance: ***
p<0.01.
