MOL proposes 12 week maternity leave policy
Posted on 2026-11-04 14:05:13
The Ministry of Labor is proposing a new set to policies aimed at reversing
the island's declining birth rate.

The plan includes increasing the maternity leave policy to 12 weeks and
increasing paid pregnancy check-up leave to 10 days.

The government currently offers eight weeks of maternity leave and seven
days of paid pregnancy check-up leave.

Labor Minister Hung Sun-han says his office is currently working to have the
policies take effect by early next year.

The statements come after President Lai Ching-te announced his national
family support strategy in May.

Along with extending maternity leave paid pregnancy check-up leave, that
strategy also proposed extending marriage leave to 14 days and spousal leave
to accompany wives to prenatal exams to 14 days.
