Transitioning into and out of parental leave recommendations for three stages of support

Hawkins, Jenna. (Author). Leslie Harris Centre of Regional Policy and Development. (Added Author). Canadian Electronic Library (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: Given the intersection of low fertility rates and an aging workforce at both the provincial and national levels, this report recommends support working mothers in order to address the impending climate of a labour and population shortage. The report will recommend both public policy and workplace initiatives that aim to ease women's undertaking of the roles of mother and worker simultaneously, without having to endure the same work-related risks they have in the past. More specifically, the report will focus on the three stages of transitioning into and out of parental leave: (1) deciding to have a child, (2) using parental leave, and (3) returning to work after leave. I recommend public policy and/or workplace initiatives for each of the three stages.
