Working-life out-of-balance?
Melanie Hack has published an article on legal responses in the EU and Norway to parenthood and caregiving in times of crisis.
Main content
In view of the current societal challenges related to digitization and demographic change, the article analyses the European Union’s Work-life Balance Directive 2019/1158. The key focus rests on parental and carer’s leave and what legal protection this essential factor is granted.
As Norway is not an EU member and was a global forerunner in introducing the right to paternity leave and also established extensive protection against discrimination, the article discusses the WLB-Directive against Norwegian legislation.
The article is published in the journal Diritto Lavori Mercati International, and is available open access here. The research is connected to the LaW-BALANCE project lead by Melanie Hack.
