Paternity leave to be extended to 18 weeks in the private sector in the CAPV
- The Basque Government proposes the extension of two weeks as complementary aid to the sixteen weeks authorised by the Social Security System. Since 2019, public sector personnel have access to authorisation.
After receiving the call, the Basque Government will extend maternity and paternity leave at the CAPV to eighteen weeks. After the end of the year 2024, and after the adoption of the corresponding Decree, it intends to establish an extension in the private sector. Since September 2019, public sector staff have been authorised and now want to join the private sector by the end of next year.
The budgets presented by the Councillor for Equality, Justice and Social Policies, Nerea Melgica, in the Basque Parliament, include an item of 100,000 euros, a measure aimed at improving parental co-responsibility in growth.
