This book examines Australian parental leave provisions and compares them with their counterpart provisions in Canada, Germany, and Switzerland. Following comparison and analysis, recommended amendments to the Paid Parental Leave Act 2010 (Cth) are provided.

This book closely examines the current parental leave provisions in Australia, both paid and unpaid, provided by both the government and private sector. In order to provide a comprehensive analysis of the Australian parental leave system, a comparison is made between the Australian provisions and those of Canada, Germany and Sweden. Applying various feminist theories to the analysis, recommendations for reform are identified to address the gaps found in the current system.
