Until when are we going to treat parenthood as a business risk?

Expresso14 September 2026 at 07:00

The article addresses the issue of discrimination against workers with parental responsibilities in the workplace. The author questions the persistence of treating parenthood as a "business risk" by employers, rather than it being recognized as a fundamental right.

The author argues that the main problem is not the lack of legislation, but rather the absence of political will to ensure its effective implementation. She argues that serious investment in the inspection of employers who violate workers' parental rights is necessary.

The article calls for stricter and more effective inspection, with heavy consequences for employers who discriminate against workers because of parenthood. The author suggests that only with more assertive enforcement of the law will it be possible to change behaviors and ensure that parental rights are effectively respected.

Why this matters

The article addresses discrimination at work due to parental reasons, a reality that directly affects workers and families in Portugal. The emphasis on the lack of inspection and impunity of employers suggests that parental rights continue to be systematically violated without effective consequences.
