In Finland, both parents will have 160 days each parental leave and the possibility of transferring 63 to the partner or whoever takes care of the child.
This is what is foreseen by the new law entry into force in the Scandinavian country led by the prime minister Sanna Marina, applicable to mothers and fathers of children born after September 4, 2022.
Not only. According to the reform of the system that regulates paid absence of parents from work to take care of their children, who is in the state of pregnancy You are also entitled to an additional 40 days of Pregnancy Benefit before the Parental Benefit starts.
About the foster children, Parental leave applies to anyone who has taken the child into custody as of July 31, 2022.
The main objective is to achieve greater gender equality, so that the burden of the children does not weigh only on the partner. According to the Finnish government, this new measure would allow “better balance career and family life”, taking into account the different family models. In fact, there is never any reference to the sexual gender of the parents.
The situation is better in the public sector, where many collective agreements already reflect the new family leave policy, while in the private sector, according to the local press, many companies still need to adapt to the new system.
A situation, therefore, very different from theItaly where the last reform that came into force on August 13 provides for 10 working days of mandatory leave for parents, both biological and adoptive or adoptive. They can also be used non-continuously and go up to 20 days in case of multiple births.
