Unpaid Maternity Leave Policy in Australia

澳洲的婦女產假無支薪政策

摘要


在已開發國家中,澳洲是不支付女性產假期間薪水的少數國家之一,經由澳洲人權及公平機會委員會,國際勞工組織提出對於產假最低的給付額度建議。然而至今,澳洲政府仍然沒有實施,其原因為基於成本的爭論、政治因素的考量,以及女性長期以來,在工作職場中,於二性平等的議題被漠視有關。本文就現今澳洲對於女性產假的政策及法案提出說明,也針對為什麼至今仍然對於產假給付的相關法令未能制定提出解釋。

Australia is one of the last developed nations to put in place universal paid maternity leave provisions. The International Labor Organization (ILO), via the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC), has made a recommendation for minimum provisions, on which the Australian Government has not yet acted. The reasons for the lack of action with relation to this issue include cost-based arguments, political reasons, and the larger issue of women not being regarded as participants in the labor force whose interests are equal to those of their male counterparts. This paper explores the concept of a paid maternity leave scheme in Australia, and the arguments for and against the adoption of a scheme such as that proposed by HREOC.
