  • •We study how a paid parental leave reform affected families’ living arrangements.•The German reform replaced a means-tested benefit by a shorter universal transfer.•The reform reduced the risk of single motherhood for newly eligible mothers.•The effect varies by the gender of the child.•Public policies may have important but unintended spillover effects on families. We examine how a paid parental leave reform causally affected families’ living arrangements. The German reform we examine replaced a means-tested benefit with a universal transfer paid out for a shorter period. Combining a regression discontinuity with a difference-in-differences design, we find that the reform increased the probability that a newborn lives with non-married cohabiting parents. This effect results from a reduced risk of single parenthood among women who gained from the reform. We reject the economic independence hypothesis and argue that the reform effects for those who benefited from the reform are consistent with hypotheses related to the improved financial situation of new mothers after the reform and increased paternal involvement in childcare.
