Voorstel van wet van het lid Van Gent tot wijziging van onder andere de Wet arbeid en zorg (Wet Babyverlof)

This is a private member's bill (initiatiefwetgeving) introduced in the Dutch House of Representatives by MP Van Gent. It proposes amending the Wet arbeid en zorg (Work and Care Act), among other laws, to create a form of paid 'baby leave' (Wet Babyverlof). Such leave would allow parents to take time off around the birth of a child, aiming to strengthen support for parents in the first weeks after birth. The bill would mainly affect working parents in the Netherlands, particularly those expecting or caring for a newborn, and their employers, who would need to accommodate the leave. Details on eligibility, duration and payment are not available from the metadata alone and should be checked in the full text.
