[quote=Anonymous]I know it does in other countries. Where I come from, women of childbearing age and women with children have certain difficulties gaining meaningful employment. Employers covertly do their best to avoid hiring employees that will obviously cost them more in parental and sick leave. It's the unintended consequence that hurts women who were meant to benefit from a generous leave provisions. As a result, most people who benefit from it are upper-middle class professionals who are not in dire need of it to begin with. Even they often have to cut their leave short, because a good job will go much further than an immediate relatively modest government allowance. On the other hand, my mother had no shortage of offers that suited well into her her sixties. She chose to retire for family reasons, but she had plenty of opportunities if she chose to continue her career. [/quote]
