Government launches full review of parental leave and pay – what could it mean for you?
MoneyWeekTuesday, July 1, 2025 at 2:20:52 PM
The government is taking a hard look at the current parental leave and pay system, aiming to make it more equitable for families. This review could lead to big changes—like extended leave, better pay, or more flexibility—but it’s still unclear how far the reforms will go or when they’ll happen. For parents juggling work and childcare, this could be a game-changer—or just another promise that falls short.
Editor’s Note: Let’s be real—parental leave in many places is a patchwork of outdated rules that don’t reflect modern family life. If this review actually leads to fairer policies, it could ease the financial and emotional strain on new parents. But until we see concrete proposals, it’s just a headline with potential. Worth keeping an eye on, though—this could affect millions.
