Parental leave is our fundamental means for the care of young children. Its parameters have a significant impact on the lives of parents. From what such leave is granted and what not, depends if the partners decide to have a child, or the one, or more, when you start a family, the couple who will pursue a career, and so on.\u00a0\u201eYoung people in connection with childbirth fear most standards of living and repeal certain life plans.\u00a0After these\u00a0two facts follow other types of concerns:\u00a0fear of job loss or limitation of opportunities for further career,\u201c\u00a0said in a research report by the Institute for Work and Family in this year.\u00a0That is why it is important to achieve a family policy, which would not stand in the way of creating family background while working implementation options for both parents.\u00a0For example, allowing work during parental leave, as well as a contribution itself to the parent so requests.<\/p>\n

\u201eThere is a lack of institutional alternatives to pre-school care as mini nursery or family professional carers,\u201c\u00a0says Barbora Holubov\u00e1 , Institute for Work and Family.\u00a0\u201eIf the family is not able\u00a0to provide care from some relatives, the family \u00a0can get into serious financial situation. Parents must pay for childcare commercial price, or the woman has to give up work,\u201c adds\u00a0Du\u0161ana Bieleszov\u00e1 Union of Mother Centres.<\/p>\n
For child-care greatly influences the approach of the employer. He can provide support in various forms such as ensuring the free working hours, subsidizing school nurseries, miscellaneous contributions and support women in child-care leave.\u00a0Integrating father custody is ultimately another important step in improving child care. \u201eCreating emotional ties between father and child from an early age it seems as important as creating bonds between mother and child,\u201c says Bieleszov\u00e1. \u00a0Often it depends on the income of both parents, that\u00a0are still generally higher among males.<\/p>\n

Interesting differences in European countries:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In other European countries there are different systems to support childcare, which are identified in the length of maternity and parental leave, the possibilities of their utilization in the amount of benefits and other benefits.\u00a0For example, mothers in Spain, the Netherlands, France and Estonia receive during maternity 100 % of their previous salary.\u00a0Some countries are more successful in the pursuit of equal inclusion of mothers and fathers in childcare or to provide sufficient space for the realization of mothers in the family and work.\u00a0\u201eThe current trend is to reduce the total length of parental leave, with the least possible loss of family income due to birth and child care. Therefore the concurrence of care and labor is supported, as well as burden sharing loss of income and career breaks to both parents,\u201c says Barbora Holubov\u00e1. \u00a0For example, in Portugal after\u00a0maternity and\u00a0compulsory paternity leave, parents are entitled to three months’ parental leave which may be taken either of them or both alternately.\u00a0In Bulgaria, the father after the birth of a child is entitled to 15 days paid leave if he was\u00a0a year previously insured.\u00a0In Denmark parents after 14 weeks maternity leave have the same entitlement to an additional 32 weeks ‘parental’ leave which may be used up to the ninth year of age of a child.<\/p>\n
