Ghana’s Labour (Amendment) “Parental Leave for All” Bill
In October 2023, Ghana's Parliament received a Private Member’s bill aimed at revising the country's approach to parental leave. The bill, sponsored by the Member of Parliament for Madina, Hon. Francis-Xavier Sosu, seeks to make pivotal amendments to the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651). This legislative initiative, known as the Labour (Amendment) Bill, 2023, or "Parental Leave for All” bill is set to enhance maternity and paternity leave in Ghana.
