Parental leave is defined by the International Labour Organization (ILO) as “leave granted to fathers and mothers during a period after the termination of maternity leave to enable parents in employment to look after their newborn child for a certain time, whilst giving them some degree of security in respect of employment, social security and remuneration. Parental leave is also granted to adoptive parents.” This definition states the co-responsibility of parents, both natural and adoptive.
