Foreldrepermisjon

Foreldrepermisjon, translated as parental leave, refers to the period during which a parent is entitled to take time off from work to care for a newborn or newly adopted child. This leave is typically available to both mothers and fathers and is intended to promote bonding with the child, as well as support the transition to parenthood. Foreldrepermisjon often includes provisions for paid leave, with varying lengths and conditions depending on the country’s labor laws. It aims to help balance work and family life, encourage shared responsibilities between parents, and ensure the well-being of both the child and the parents during the early stages of a child’s life.
