Abstract	A study examined existing provisions for educational leaves for employees in various countries throughout Europe and the impact of any such existing provisions on labor market development. Present provisions for educational leave in the countries studied appeared to have a worker withdrawal effect that was generally well under 0.1 percent of the total labor force. Women and unskilled or semiskilled workers were poorly represented among those enjoying an educational leave, and the same was true for employees of small businesses. Public service employees, union officials, and the middle and senior management of large businesses benefit most from present provisions. Despite the varying approaches to educational leave and the differences in the experience gathered, the problems associated with its setup and implementation are similar regardless of subject matter. It was concluded that European nations should take steps to develop policies facilitating educational leaves for employees of all sectors and skill levels. Such a policy should provide that 2 percent of all employees be allowed to go on educational leave during the same period for a total of 10 working days per year, all workers over the age of 18 should be allowed to take an educational leave, and employees should continue to receive pay while on leave regardless of the subject matter of any courses taken during the leave.
