More than 1,700 pregnant women or people on parental leave were left without contract renewal in 2025. This data refers to contracts that were not renewed, leaving these people in a vulnerable situation in the labor market during a delicate period of their lives.
The number of non-renewed contracts is considered high, raising concerns about the labor protection of pregnant women and people on parental leave in Portugal. This situation directly affects families who depend on work income during pregnancy or in the first years of their children's lives.
Despite the number being significant, the article indicates that it represents a decrease compared to the previous year. This suggests there was an improvement in the situation, although many cases of non-renewal of contracts in these circumstances still occur.
The information was reported by the FALA PORTUGAL program, broadcast on TV RECORD, which covers these social and labor issues in Portugal.
