Government will consider next month parental allowance can return to the value before reductions in June 2010.
Labour Minister Claudia Boghicevici, said Wednesday that the executive will take a decision after analyzing economic indicators for April.
‘Returning to the initial parental allowance I am convinced that will be discussed with back salaries , because it is a measure was taken with the pay cut, so I am convinced that the economic indicators for April we will be presented economic data, if this is possible or not.
"The incentives that we want must be not only financial, it must exist institutional structures in order to help the family.
"The young mother, if she has a nursery, a kindergarten closer to work ,may remain as many hours at work, knowing her baby safely in a nursery or a kindergarten performed in public-private partnership by that undertaking with the help of local authority, "said Claudia Boghicevici.
