Support for working parents, with the immediate implementation of the proposal, to cover the costs in connection with the care of their children in nursery schools up to the age of four, the Social Democratic Movement of the EPP is calling for through a proposal submitted on Tuesday to the Parliamentary Labour Committee.
In a statement after the session, CS EDEK MP Andreas Apostolou said that his Movement has submitted a proposal for an immediate discussion of the issue to support families by covering the costs related to the care of their children in nurseries.
"We consider it very important," he said, "to have a welfare plan that supports families and young mothers in general, after the end of their maternity leave and their return to work, until the children go to pre-primary."
According to Andreas Apostolou, "it is in these ways that the state will actively support the reconciliation of professional and family life", noting that the proposal of the EPP has been unanimously approved by the members of the Labour Committee.
He added that he expected in the coming weeks and in the presence of the Deputy Minister of Social Welfare, as well as relevant directors or heads of departments of other services, to see the government's plans for when to implement this program, which, he explained, is implemented in most European countries.
