Concern over leave for visiting parents
A SURVEY has found that over 72 percent of respondents deem “filial duty” leave necessary, though more than 84 percent expressed concern over how it might work in practice.
Beijing recently adopted a plan to encourage employers to employees leave to visit and take care of elderly family members on birthdays, or whenever they needed help.
Filial duty leave is definitely a good move, Zhang Xingshui, a Beijing-based lawyer, told survey organizers China Youth Daily. Zhang said office workers were under considerable pressure at work and might only see parents or grandparents once a year.
Li Wenzhao, an associate professor at Renmin University of China, said: “The encouragement of filial duty leave demonstrates the government’s support for young people to care for the elderly. The leave also signals the rejuvenation of traditional culture.”
However, the majority of those surveyed were concerned about enforcement, labor costs and employer-employee relationships.
The 2001 respondents included employees of private companies, state-owned enterprises, foreign companies and government agencies as well as the self-employed and retired.
