Will inevitably affect, especially women in enterprises.
Extending maternity leave is a good thing, but if the discrimination of employers in the workplace cannot be solved, this kind of leave will accelerate the forced return of women from the workplace to their families.
Large enterprises are fine, small and medium-sized enterprises are already difficult to operate, and it is even harder to be tossed around like this.
If the enterprise does not seriously affect the operation and increase the cost because of the birth of employees, then it is possible for the enterprise to treat male and female candidates equally and fairly without discriminating against female employees of childbearing age.
If the enterprise is overburdened, it will inevitably pursue from the perspective of maximizing benefits, and avoid the impact of long maternity leave for female employees on their own costs. The biggest possibility is to reduce the recruitment of women. Therefore, women's opportunities to participate in social work are more limited.
If you are an enterprise, your newly recruited female employee will have a baby soon after joining the company; Your senior female employee is skilled in business but has gone to have a baby; The woman in charge of your department suddenly gave birth to a child before the project was completed. ...
Maternity leave lasts for several months.
Are you angry? Are you bored? If you meet another girl to apply, will you like it? Will you ask them to put the birth plan into the contract? Do you think it is better to recruit men?
The key point is that having children is obviously a matter for both men and women. Both husband and wife should bear the same obligations. Women are responsible for pregnancy and childbirth, and men should share more in other aspects.
I don't think maternity leave should be too long, not only for women, but also for husbands and fathers of children. It should be as long as maternity leave for women.
Maternity leave should not be a word exclusive to women, it also belongs to men.
