The State of Gender-Responsive Family Policies in the Eastern Europe and Central Asia Region provides a set of recommendations aimed at helping governments shape policies that will enable individuals to balance their work and life responsibilities more equally. Focused on seven areas — maternity leave, paternity leave, parental leave, carer’s leave, flexible working arrangements, early childhood education and care, and gender norms and stereotypes — the recommendations are ultimately aimed at building demographically resilient societies that can mitigate the potential negative impact of demographic change on individuals, societies, economies and the environment.
