The PCP, BE, Chega and Livre parties present different proposals for extending parental leave in Portugal. PCP advocates seven months of leave paid at 100%, while BE proposes six months. Chega goes further, suggesting up to eight months of parental leave.
Livre maintains an intermediate position, proposing six or seven months, but with a particularity: the creation of incentives for sharing between parents, meaning incentives for both parents to share the leave time.
The proposals arise in the context of discussion about extending parental leave in Portugal, where currently there are different durations depending on the regime chosen by the parents.
The parties thus present different views on the ideal duration of parental leave, ranging from the six months proposed by BE to the eight months advocated by Chega.
