If you think parenthood is not easy for a working mother, spare a thought for the mum who works in an SME.

Full Story

Be transparent, tell prospective female applicants that they will be sacked upon their pregnancy. Use condoms la.

This is same problem also in Western countries. That is why most would want to join major MNCs to enjoy the best benefits.

If the govt wants more babies, it should take on the cost instead of leaving the employers to bear the full burden of women on maternity leave. One idea is to have half the maternity leave borne by the government.

Want a baby? Join the Civil Service.

Until this mindset of employers has changed, I don't think the stock will arrive anytime soon ... the Government should consider itself fortunate if the birth rate does not fall further below 1.29 !!!

In addition to baby bonus, gvt may set up a maternity leave fund/scheme for SME to help employers share the cost.

The government needs to rethink the current cahoot between government, union and business - and strengthen the labour laws to protect our workers better, esp. against unreasonable dismissal.

dont have babies lah...

that's life...i guess..its part and parcel of parenthood.sacrifices..which most single people make.
