PoliticsNCW Proposes Gender-Neutral 730-Day Childcare Leave for Working Parents
The National Commission for Women (NCW) has proposed transforming India's existing 730-day women-centric Child Care Leave (CCL) into a gender-neutral system. Their 37 recommendations suggest splitting the leave entitlement between working parents, extending benefits to private-sector employees, and promoting shared caregiving. Currently, eligible female government employees can avail up to 730 days of CCL for their two eldest children under 18, with no age limit for disabled children.
