On 21 February 2018 I participated as a speaker in a Public Hearing in the European Parliament on the Commission proposal on Work-life Balance for Parents and Carers. The event was held by the Employment and Social Affaires Committee (EMPL), with a cooperation of FEMM Committee (Women’s Rights and Gender Equality). My presentation (video, slides) was focused on supporting the proposal that extends individual and non-transferable entitlement to four months (per parent), with an obligatory element of income compensation.
