We will be talking about maternity and paternity leave in the LEN Drama session on Monday, so here’s a little interesting fact:-
Almost half of women in the UK (43%) are likely to return to work sooner than they would like after having their baby.
(The main reason was money worries, but according to the NCT (the largest UK parents charity), 47% said it was due to concerns over job security.
Overall 4% of those surveyed said they took less than two weeks maternity leave, even though they are entitled to much longer.)
