Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Indranee Rajah has spoken about the need for changes in workplace norms and culture to support parents. An increase in childcare leave is one of the measures to support marriage and parenthood, but it may not be enough on its own. Currently, when employees take time off, their colleagues may have to take on extra work and employers may need to find replacement staff.

This can make parents feel reluctant to take leave, even when it is available to them. Indranee discussed these issues in an interview, where she was asked about new marriage and parenthood measures unveiled by the Prime Minister.

Further details about the measures and the interview are available from the source.
