The Commission proposal was presented in the overall framework of the European Pillar of Social Rights and aims to address women's under-representation in the labour market through higher minimum standards for parental, paternity and carer's leave. In his draft report, the Rapporteur proposes a couple of amendments regarding the pay or allowance level during the various leaves and suggests putting a special emphasis on micro enterprises to take into account their particular specificities and constraints.

The proposed revised guidelines have been amended to align the text with the principles of the European pillar of social rights, with a view to improving Europe's competitiveness and making it a better place to invest, create jobs and foster social cohesion.
