On September 27, the Parliament approved Bill 855/XV/1, presented by a group of citizens, which aims to extend the initial parental leave from 120 or 150 consecutive days to 180 or 210 consecutive days.
The main reason for this legislative initiative is the pursuit of policies to protect parenthood, births and the reconciliation of professional and family life, in particular through greater economic support during the first six months of breastfeeding, as well as the protection of maternal and child health.
What changes?
