I saw the news today that someone at the two sessions suggested that paid maternity leave for women could be extended to two years.
Do you think this suggestion is feasible?
As we all know, although there is maternity leave for women now, but the time is really not long, many novice mothers complain that the maternity leave is too short, and they have to go back to work before they recover well, and they are not very skilled in taking care of children.
The proposal to extend paid maternity leave for women to two years seems to be considerate at first glance, giving women more time to spend with their children and allowing new mothers to return to the workplace with more confidence.
But if you think about it, it's actually quite complicated.
How much does the company have to bear?
Will this discourage young female workers?
Will other employees find it unfair?
Also, are women willing to do it themselves?
After all, if maternity leave is too long, it may also affect your career development and income.
I really think that this matter has to be considered comprehensively.
On the one hand, it is necessary to ensure that women have enough time to rest, and on the other hand, it is necessary to take into account the actual situation of the company and society.
Perhaps, we could explore some more flexible maternity leave systems?
For example, phased vacations and remote work allow women to maintain their professional competitiveness while taking care of their children.
Of course, this is just a little immature idea of mine.
What do you think of this suggestion?
