Parents and employers have different views on the proposal of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) that the maternity leave for the second and third child be extended to 18 and 24 months, respectively.
A similar proposal was announced by the Socialist People's Party (SNP), but the Government pointed out in Colors of the Morning on Television Vijesti that they did not plan money for these needs for the next year, and that this initiative should be carefully considered from all aspects.
Is this measure sufficient to solve the demographic crisis in Montenegro? In what way could this proposal affect the balance between professional and family life? Are there additional steps the state should take to improve conditions for parents and children?
The guests of Boja jutra were Ivana Đođić, secretary of the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Dialogue, Filip Lazović from the Union of Employers of Montenegro and Kristina Mihailović from the Association of Parents.
