I have read that even in Sweden where long parental leaves (think a year) are acceptable both for men and women, women still suffer from that in the long term.

The problem being not explaining the gaps, but the fact of taking it.
- raducu 7y agoIn Romania you can choose a maternal/paternal leave of up to 2 years, during which you are still employed by the same employer -- you are payed by the state a percentage of your previous income, but you are still employed. No need to explain any gap, because there won't be a gap in your resume, and it is nobody's business asking question about maternal/paternal leaves(I'm pretty sure it would be illegal to ask such private information anyway).
- lilicawat 7y agoWell I live in Switzerland, but the stories I mentioned in the articles are real woman from several cities in Europe. I have friends from Romania and they mentioned that paternal and materal leave are more equal there.
