We publish the letter Ilaria Marinoni, Italian reader who lives near London, and to follow the response of Catherine Soft. I now read the article by Catherine's dad on the UK fortunate that I was shot by my mother, desperate online reader of the newspaper ... Done and Italian now living in London for 10 years and a British passport from 2 I can say that perhaps maybe 'Italy is still made better.Indeed, specifically, the Italian family is in better shape. In Britain, most of the mothers, who work in British companies (British pre-crisis average salary was 23 thousand pounds a year gross) in any area, are subject to rules of motherhood as follows: the first six weeks are paid 90%, after which it moves to a fee fixed by law at £ 124.88 per week amounted to 149,266 euro exchange rate today (and by 124 pounds a week in the UK we only do their shopping).
I do not think this is something to brag about. Indeed. In the weeks of maternity leave spent at home a mother lives with the stress of deciding whether to return to work first in order to survive financially or stay home to spend quality time with their child but may not pay the mortgage.
The fixed amount of 124 pounds is not even proportional to your salary, so people who normally live with a monthly salary of 2500 pounds maybe you are to receive 20% resulting in a failure to the family budget is not indifferent. So at this point I wonder if I prefer the Italian reality, where my husband could not have the right to choose to stay at home doing the mom, or the British reality where one of the two can stay at home but still struggles to make ends meet month? Italian mothers did not complain, I have a child of 20 months, only 6 have been on maternity leave for financial reasons (see above), and I would lick his mustache if I had an Italian treatment, where most of you can take home a total salary for the first 5 or so months and then, however, that a shrinking percentage of the same over time.
Without counting that in Italy you have that early motherhood is not here, if you are sick use sick days for reasons related to pregnancy, and by law, unless your firm is not open-minded, you pay only about a dozen sick days a year! And I add more. When you have sick children in Italy have the right to stay at home ...
paid! Not us! If you already have a second child and maternity ve the sign and stay at home early in the fifth month ... I mean, I would say that in the end if I had to choose for the life of a mother a little more would opt for the easier option than fish & pizza chip!? Of course the ideal would be to combine the best of both systems ...
but that's another story ... Ilaria Marinoni, Ashtead, Surrey's response to Catherine Soft Dear Ilaria, as always, not everything that glitters is gold and the money question is priority, so from a financial point of view is absolutely true, that 124 pounds a week is a pittance (although this is the law even now and then whether they can stay at home fathers do not affect this).
But the plan English family is interesting for several reasons: 1) The Italian law makes it even compulsory motherhood for a woman. Now, if your proirità is staying home, that's great. Then, the Italian is one of the best maternity protection laws that exist in the world, not only in Europe.
But add to that you earn more than your husband, and then let him prefer to stay at home. Or put you happen to get pregnant in a professional period of ascent, or otherwise prefer not to give up their jobs because they know that otherwise you'll find all the armchair for your return. This is not even expected in Italy, why do not you think that a woman can earn more money or having a career.
2) The law leaves the choice of English and this is crucial not only for the minimum period of maternity, but especially after. Why do people no longer have even the excuse of mental and spicologica think their children? It 's you that it should occupy. Even in Italy they can take voluntary leave fathers too, but it's something different, largely from the mental point of view.
because the 5 months are required for the mother. I say this as a mother of two children born in Italy and then I received itlaiana law: the idea that he might be staying home, restore equality in the roles. It breaks the classic that is the mother who must deal with the house (and hence also the cost of laundry, kindergartens, school, and then if anything even call the plumber or bring the machine to make the cut, which does not occupations are purely from my mother ...) 3) The Italian data on women who leave work after maternity leave are chilling.
The employment rate for single women is equal to 86.5 percent, down to 71.9 for women living in couples without children, even down to 51.5 percent for women living in couples with children. Only 37 percent of mothers with three children can work. In essence, the maternity pushes women out of work (and this got to do a lot with leave of departure, instead).
In the UK the situation seems a bit 'better. 4) It is true that an Italian mother can stay home if the child is sick. There are 5 days of paid leave that can be taken within one year, whether the child has a fever you should take is to make vaccines or medical examinations, because you can only do in the morning.
I think that expire at the end of the third year of the child (but this last figure I would not swear). 5) The ability to divide between men and women in the months of maternity eliminates one of the major reasons of discrimination in women's work. It would not make more sense to the classic question that women make during job interviews, but she has filgi? He's going to do with it? In the UK it is illegal, and would also be in Italy if the law was enforced.
Yet it is one of the largest difficioltà for young women to enter the world of work. If you are of childbearing age you are more or less screwed. So should ask to men and not be a better guarantee of equal opportuntà . Write: london @ ilfattoquotidiano. en
