Prime Minister Emil Boc said, after the Government's meeting on Wednesday, that mothers may opt for two years of leave and a child-rearing aid between RON600 and RON1,200. The alternative is one year's leave, up to RON3,400 child-rearing aid and RON500 per month if the mother chooses to return to work before the first year of leave is up, paid for the remainder of two years.

Mothers who return to work after one year's maternity leave will not receive the RON500 incentive.
