Six months of paid leave at 100% and parents sharing more. Parliament decides tomorrow

Jornal de Negócios15 September 2026 at 08:00

The parliament will debate tomorrow, in the specialty phase, the extension of parental leave. The initial proposal, presented by a group of citizens, provides for six months of leave paid at 100%, with parents sharing more time between themselves.

The parties present divergent positions on the duration. PS proposes 150 days, PSD suggests 180 days but with restrictions, and Chega advocates 240 days. All parties submitted amendment proposals to the citizens' initiative.

The debate is scheduled for tomorrow in the Labor and Social Security Committee, where the various amendments presented by the parliamentary groups will be analyzed.

Why this matters

This vote directly affects Portuguese working parents who plan to have children, defining the duration and remuneration of parental leave. The result will determine how many days of leave will be paid at 100%, with impact on the balance between professional and family life. The initiative came from a group of citizens, reflecting public pressure on this family policy matter.
