COFACE member organisation Fundacja Share the Care in Poland has published a new report examining developments in parental equality three years after the transposition of the EU Work-Life Balance Directive.
The second wave of the European Institute for Gender Equality CARE Survey offers one of the most comprehensive pictures to date of how unpaid care responsibilities continue to shape everyday life across the European Union.
The European Care Strategy is a policy framework launched by the European Commission in September 2022 to strengthen care systems and improve both care services and care conditions across the European Union. Read more here.
With 120+ participants from 27 countries (including our COFACE penguins who joined us given the big focus on parental equality), we had rich discussions focusing on challenges persisting for families of today across Europe and beyond, we discussed public policy solutions as well as good practices in the workplace.
This new report presents the findings of COFACE Families Europe’s transposition assessment carried out together with national experts from 10 Member States representing a geographical and welfare mix: Belgium, Croatia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Poland and Spain.
All EU countries had until the 2nd of August 2022 to bring into force the laws, regulations, and administrative provisions necessary to comply fully with the Work-life balance Directive. The Directive contains legal elements that acknowledge the diversity of families in the 21st century, for instance with the mention of “equivalent second parent” under the paternity leave article.
