SINGAPORE – A Bill debated in Parliament on Monday, if passed, will give effect to parenthood-related leave changes announced during Budget 2023, and provide parents greater support.
Ms Sun Xueling, Minister of State for Social and Family Development, said during the second reading of the Child Development Co-Savings Bill that the increase in paternity benefits are “critical steps that the Government is making towards normalising paternal involvement in our society”. Among the changes to the Bill, Government-Paid Paternity Benefit will be doubled from the current 14 days to 28 days of an eligible father’s total income.
The Bill debated on Monday also contains other clauses to improve operational efficiency and clarity, said Ms Sun. Said Ms Sun: “This Bill will strengthen our support for parents in managing their work and family commitments, as well as to encourage greater shared parental responsibility in caregiving.
