Parental leave: the same for both parents?
Leave after a birth…
- Identical and compulsory for both parents
- Extend the second parent's leave, without obligation
- Each couple organises itself, the state shouldn't impose
What's at stake: The debate pits workplace equality, which benefits from shared leave, against each couple's freedom to organise itself.
The left's argument
Equal, compulsory leave reduces hiring discrimination against women.
The centre's argument
Extend the second parent's leave, without imposing it on those who don't want it.
The right's argument
Each couple should be able to organise family life as it sees fit, without constraints.
