@JolyonMaugham - would parental leave as a non transferable, non gendered employment right + childbirth leave for birth mothers be better?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MForstater what, I think, we need is short reserved periods for mum and dad, with the residuum properly funded and fully transferable1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@JolyonMaugham I think opposite - mums' leave 4 pregnancy/birth/recovery period + standard parent leave on a use-it-or-lose-it basis 4 all1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MForstater not that much difference actually: I would add only a reserved period of dad's leave to your suggestion2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@JolyonMaugham Difference would be that leave is an employment right, on becoming a parent. Not dependent on gender or family choices.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@JolyonMaugham - transferable parental leave keeps assumption that mum = main parent. Eg Dad can get transferable leave from working mum 1/3 replies 0 retweets 1 like
@MForstater But not from student, freelance or-out-of-work mum. Working mum gets full transferable leave regardless of dads' employment 2/
