New statistics show paid parental leave going backwards

New ABS data released today indicates a smaller proportion of employees were entitled to paid parental leave in October last year than a year earlier. The new survey coincides with the St Vincent de Paul opportunity shop chain in NSW offering 14 weeks paid maternity leave to its 400 employees and a new study showing that breastfeeding suffers when mothers return to work in the first six months after having a baby.
