💨 Abstract

The UK government is reviewing its parental leave system, which is currently confusing for both families and businesses. The review will examine maternity, paternity, and shared parental leave to find improvements. Currently, new dads can take up to two weeks of paid leave, while mums can take up to 52 weeks, with reduced pay after 39 weeks. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds advocates for a more supportive work environment for new parents, aiming to balance work and family life.
