Why It Matters

台灣生育率長期偏低,居世界最低水準之一,修法旨在延長育嬰假與陪產假,提供更多育兒支持。

Font size

立法院昨日通過修正《性別平等工作法》與《就業服務法》,將產假由八週延長至十四週,陪產假由七天增至十四天,並擴大無薪育嬰假適用範圍。

修正條文允許員工請無薪育嬰假,直到孩子滿九歲,原先上限為三歲。

父母亦可請育兒假,親自照顧子女,適用情況包括子女生病、托兒服務或學校課堂停課、接種疫苗、參與托嬰中心、幼兒教育與照顧機構或學校舉辦的親子活動,以及其他需要父母照顧的情況。

該育兒假每名子女上限六十日,並計入無薪育嬰假總期間。

陪伴配偶前往產前檢查的七天假期維持不變。

陪產假涵蓋分娩後休假時間,必須在出生後十五天內請完。

根據《就業保險法》,請無薪育嬰假的員工可領取育嬰假津貼,最長六個月。修正後,若父母雙方各領滿六個月津貼,最長可領取九個月。

法律規定,外籍移工享有產假,但住家看護工不享有帶薪產假。同樣,住家看護工可請無薪育嬰假,但不符合津貼資格。

修法發生在台灣長期低生育率的背景下,台灣生育率為世界最低之一。

修正案將送交總統賴清德公布,隨後由行政院決定實施日期。
