October 25, 2026
A new bill proposed by MP Savia Orphanidou aims to abolish the age limit of 21 years for parental leave for parents of individuals with disabilities. This regulation allows parents to take leave without age restrictions, facilitating the care of their children. The proposal highlights the need to support parents facing increased caregiving demands. It is expected to be discussed by the Labor and Social Insurance Committee. These changes are important to prevent the financial hardships families may face.
