18. The proposed flexible parental leave system is similar to the

Icelandic model, in that mothers and fathers will be required to share
the last seven months of leave.
Passage

In the United Kingdom, working mothers are entitled to 52 weeks'

maternity leave. The first six weeks are paid at 90% of full salary and a
6
further 33 weeks are paid at a fixed rate, although some employers
offer more generous maternity schemes. If a government proposal
becomes law, however, this system will be replaced with flexible
parental leave, which can be split between the father and mother. New
mothers would be entitled to four months' paid maternity leave after
the birth, with two weeks' paid paternity leave. This would be
followed by seven month's flexible leave- of which four would be paid.

European member states must offer a minimum of 14 paid weeks of

maternity leave, though many countries offer significantly more.
France, for example, has 16 weeks' leave at 100% of salary. In Iceland,
parents receive nine months' paid leave at 80% of salary, with each
parent required to take three months leave and decide how to share
the remaining three. By comparison, the United States mandates
twelve weeks' maternity leave - though this is unpaid for
approximately 60% of mothers. 

The UK's year-long maternity leave provision is intended to provide

job security for new mothers. However, some critics believe that it
actually damages women's career prospects. They argue that because
of the inconvenience of maternity leave administration women are
less attractive employees for small businesses. Advocates of the new
flexible parental leave system believe that parenting is no longer
exclusively a mother's preserve and that the new policy will promote
gender equality.
Options:

1. True 

2. False
Answer: 2 (False)
