WHY IT MATTERS
CARE WORK, IS WORK
Paid parental leave reduces the lifetime earnings gap
between men and women. It improves workforce participation
long-term by keeping attachment to the labour force.
Research shows that while preschool benefits older children,
infants and toddlers thrive in consistent, attuned caregiving.
Often most easily provided by their parents.
Paid parental leave creates real choice. It supports return
to paid work when ready, reduces financial pressure, and allows
parents to be present for the moments that matter most.
IT'S TIME POLICY CATCH UP TO MODERN SOCIETY.
