You wish ah, latest news.
Is this a suggestion or latest news?Funz:
16 weeks maternity leave for mothers
6 weeks paternity leave for fathers
10 days childcare leave for each father & mother up to 7yrs
5 days childcare leave for each father & mother for child from Pr 1- 6
Employers adopting more flexi working hours arrangements
More school based BASC
Higher subsidy for infant and childcare (can only foresee fees going up with their push to get better qualified teachers)
All assistance or benefits extended to married parents should similarly be extended to single parents. No discrimination.
These are my suggestions that I hope will materialise when my kids are ready to start their own families. -

Something achievable, something not overly demanding and also, something for both married and single parent families.

I done with childbirth liao mah. I run my own business, so childcare leave also very little impact for me. So can afford to be patient.

Good suggestion! This is definitely more practical for us working mothers than 6 months maternity leave with the option to take another 6 months unpaid leave. It is nearly impossible to keep the job when you are back from maternity!16 weeks maternity leave for mothers

Precisely, if the company can manage without you for 6 mths, they can manage without you, period. And employers also know the trend, if a woman stays away for 6mths, there is a high chance that the staff will resign if not on the 5th mth, then upon their return. Those who are committed to their work will return b4 that, if not full time, at least on a flexi schedule first.

Funz’s suggestions are much more practical for working mothers and employers.
If this 6 months’ paid leave is implemented, SINGAPOREAN working mothers and married women of child bearing age will be further discriminated by employers. As an employer, I would rather employ a PR or foreigner as they will not be entitled to 6 months’ maternity leave.
