Abstract: This study analyzes the association between corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and maternity protection using Korean firm-level data. The result shows that companies with good CSR evaluation is negatively related to reinstatement rate after parental leave. It was also revealed that industries with low relevance to female workers or consumer issues and firms with good corporate governance indicators is negatively related to maternity protection. Firms are attracted to external social issues, rather than internal labor standards, such as parental leave. This study examined various causes that lead to these results.
