    (INCE, 2019) Colesnicova, Tatiana; Ciobanu, Ghenadie; Ciobanu, Mihail
    In contemporary society, women express more often the desire to be active in the labour market than in previous centuries. At the same time, in addition to the status of employees or entrepreneurs, as a rule, throughout the life they also acquire the status of mother. The need to care for the child during its early lifeby the mother, in particular, but also by the father of the child, is recognized in society by both the state andthe business environment, although to a different extent, which, besides the possibilities that these entities can offer to the mother and to the father, but also to other people who have a role in the care of the child, determine a wide variety of schemes of measures in this regard. The purpose of this article is to analyze the international experience of different countries and companies in offering such measures in terms of gender. The research methods used are: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, statistical indices, etc. In addition to paternity and maternity leave, as well as shared parental leave and other types of childcare leave, such as grandparental leave, were identified. After highlighting the practices of various companies that take seriously the need to help parents with childcare, it is clear that successful companies are much more generous in this regard than the state in developed economies, an inverse situation compared to weaker economies such as those from Africa or those from Eastern Europe or Central Asia.
