Working Parents
In most European countries parents are entitled to take up to three months off if their child is ill In France the maternity grant is E842. In Finland every new mother gets a 'baby box' as a present from the state, full of the sort of things babies require. In this country only half the women who work are entitled to maternity leave.
You and Yours looks at the rights of working parents - how we compare with the rest of Europe, and how we could improve the difficult business of managing the world of work at the same time as bringing up a family. Today's programme examines the provision of leave for working parents.
