Pregnant women and new parents still remain a target of workplace discrimination despite decades-old legislation making it unlawful.
Researchers are calling for major change as a new study from University of South Australia reveals 60 percent of new mothers returning to work say their “opinions are often ignored,” and they “feel excluded”.
This follows 2014’s “Supporting Working Parents: Pregnancy and Return to Work National Review,” with current findings demonstrating little to no shift in the situation.
