UNICEF and Partners Advocate Extended Paid Parental Leave

To encourage workplaces in Thailand to adopt stronger family-friendly policies, UNICEF, the Embassy of Sweden, and UN Global Compact Network Thailand (UNGCNT) organised a thought leadership conference titled “Supporting Working Parents with Paid Parental Leave: Status, Sharing Experiences, and Next Steps”. The event brought together stakeholders including businesses and government representatives to discuss the positive impact of paid parental leave on both businesses and families, particularly the importance of family-friendly policies for child development.
