Abstract(s)
Leave policies and the protection of working parents' rights have changed significantly
in Europe during the last few decades. While policies introduced immediately
after World War II were largely based on a male-breadwinner model, the post-1970s
policies have recognised the increase in maternal employment, the growing diversity
of work/family arrangements and working parents' needs for state support in caring
for young children. Paid maternity leave and paid or unpaid parental leave are
now available throughout Europe - Western, Central and Eastern - and policy developments
have encouraged more gender-neutral leaves and longer periods of paid
leave (Deven and Moss 2005).
