    Consolidarea suportului părinților în îmbinarea rolurilor profesionale și familiale
    (Foxtrot, 2021) Sinchevici-Chistruga, Inga
    The article is based on four sociological studies (2 qualitative ones and 2 quantitative) elaborated by the Centre for Demographic Research of INCE in the 2018-2021 period, which have intended to analyse the peculiarities of jointing family life and the professional life of parents. Due to unstable conditions on the labor market, life has created a context in which it is increasingly difficult for parents to develop favorable strategies for successfully combining professional and family responsibilities. The results of the studies showed that the strategies applied by parents in resolving the conflict between family and professional responsibilities are at their disadvantage. Flexible work schedules (remote work, compressed work week, staggered hours, etc.) are a necessity for parents because they are compatible with family responsibilities, but in order to implement them, a series of obstacles are registered. In this context, a differentiated and efficient policy is required to provide the necessary types of assistance to each special group. At the level of authorities, it is necessary to encourage employees to implement policies to balance families and work, expand preschool and quality pre-school services, etc.

    Particularități în implementarea concediului paternal în Republica Moldova
    (INCE, 2022) Sinchevici-Chistruga, Inga
    Paternity leave belongs exclusively to the father, is of short duration and is granted after the birth of a child, intended to allow the father to spend time with his partner and the newborn child. In the Republic of Moldova, this leave lasts 14 days and is granted in the first months after the birth of the child. During paternity leave, the employee benefits from a paternity allowance that cannot be lower than the average monthly insured income and is paid from the state social insurance budget. The article was developed on the basis of the qualitative study "Attitudes and practices applied in the implementation of paternity leave" in which fathers who have children up to 3 years of age and experts involved in family policies were interviewed, conducted in September 2022. The research method was the semi-structured sociological interview. The study data revealed that paternity leave influences the well-being of the child and the couple. The main difficulties in the implementation of paternity leave are: correlating the right to paternity allowance with the work situation and the contribution period; lack of encouragement from employers; poor information of parents regarding the right to paternity leave; discrimination by employers, and colleagues; constraints related to time and circumstances at work; failure to take into account specific circumstances (birth of twins, premature birth, disability or health status of mother or child). The article concludes with recommendations regarding the improvement of policies for granting paternity leave in the Republic of Moldova. The article was elaborated within the State Program Project (2020-2023) 20.80009.0807.21 „Migration, demographic changes, and situation stabilisation policies”.
