"Une réflexion est en cours, en Italie, sur la transposition de la directive 2019/1158 du 20 juin 2019 concernant l'équilibre entre vie professionnelle et vie privée des parents et des aidants, dans un contexte aggravé par la crise sanitaire liée au COVID-19 et les mesures exceptionnelles de conciliation applicables jusqu'à la fin de la période d'urgence. Dans le même temps, le gouvernement a approuvé un projet de loi dite loi sur la famille (ci-après Family Act), portant délégations au gouvernement en vue de l'adoption de l'allocation universelle et de l'introduction de mesures de soutien aux familles. Dans ce projet de loi, dont la portée est plus étendue et générale que les nombreux mécanismes mentionnés, il n'existe aucun lien formel avec la directive 2019/1158. Dans le contexte du droit actuellement en vigueur en Italie, l'effet de la transposition de la directive portera vraisemblablement sur les droits de garde du père et du parent dit équivalent (« les pères ou, le cas échéant, les personnes reconnues comme seconds parents équivalents par la législation nationale »), sur lesquels insiste le projet, qui met en évidence le problème persistant de la distinction entre travailleurs salariés et travailleurs indépendants, et de l'architecture complexe du régime légal existant"

"Au Portugal, la problématique de la conciliation vie familiale-vie professionnelle a été confrontée récemment à des contradictions importantes. D'un côté, des mesures législatives et réglementaires ont été adoptées dans ce sens, de l'autre, la mise en œuvre du programme d'austérité a accentué la dégradation des conditions de vie. Dans la pratique, on constate cependant un meilleur exercice des droits, y compris ceux acquis récemment comme les congés parentaux, mis en place en 2009. Les quelques études disponibles montrent cependant que le sujet de la conciliation est encore largement considéré comme une affaire individuelle et féminine. "

"This paper investigates how mothers' decision to stay at home with young children affects their subsequent work careers. Identification is based on the introduction of the Cash-for-Care program in Norway in 1998, which increased mothers' incentives to withdraw from the labor market when their child was one and two years old. Our estimates demonstrate that, for mothers without a university degree or with pre-reform earnings below the median, the program had effects on earnings and full-time employment even when the child was no longer eligible for Cash-for-Care at ages four and five. However, from age six, we can no longer see any effects. Further analysis suggests that the effects dissipate because most mothers remained attached to the labor force through part-time employment."

"Investments in children are generally seen as investments in the future economy. In this study I focus on time investments in children as I investigate the long-term educational effects on children of increasing parents' birth-related leave from 14 to 20 weeks using a natural experiment from 1984 in Denmark. The causal effect of the reform is identified using regression discontinuity design to compare a population sample of children born shortly before and shortly after the reform took effect. Results indicate that increasing parents' access to birth-related leave has no measurable effect on children's long-term educational outcomes. Mothers' incomes and career opportunities are slightly positively affected by the reform."

"The study set out to map best practices on work-life balance (WLB) agreements negotiated by social partners in 10 Member States: Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. The focus of the research was specifically on measures of work-life balance that enable parents and other people with caring responsibilities to reconcile work, family and private life, through the introduction of family and parental leave schemes, care arrangements, and the development of a working environment which facilitates the combination of work, family and private life for women and men.

While a European legislative framework and national legislation provide basic rights for parents to reconcile professional and private life, collective agreements have and will be important in providing much-needed additional rights tailored to specific constituencies. Moreover, collective agreements are important in ensuring the proper implementation of existing rights.

By highlighting good practices in 10 Member States, this study allows for an exchange of best practices across countries, sectors and companies."
