We use the Manpower Utilization Survey from 2003 through 2013 and employ the approach－Difference-in-differences to estimate the policy effect of parental leave.The empirical results show that after the parental leave was enforced in 2008, it has a significant negative impact on wage to women of childbearing age. Besides, the parental leave has a significant negative effect on employment of women. Furthermore, we analyze the women`s labor market outcome within different industries after enforce the parental leave in 2008. We find the employee of women in Manufacturing industry have a significant positive effect on wage. It has a significant negative effect on women`s wage in Financial and Insurance industry and Service industry. We figure out the benefit policy of parental leave to women might have negative effect in women`s labor market.
