Abstract
Los permisos parentales son instrumentos de política pública para la conciliación trabajo y vida familiar, brindando apoyo en tiempo y dinero a padres y madres con hijos/as recién nacidos. Estos permisos les permiten hacer una pausa en su actividad laboral remunerada con el fin de que puedan dedicarse a su cuidado. Específicamente, este estudio compara las políticas de permisos parentales de Chile y Suiza desde una perspectiva institucional y de género, analizando similitudes y diferencias en las dimensiones de generosidad, equidad de género y complementariedad entre cuidados y trabajo remunerado, y sus implicancias en políticas de conciliación. Usando un método comparati-vo internacional, los resultados muestran que en Chile conviven un arreglo de género tradicional y de doble proveedor y una política de permisos parentales que limita la equidad de género entre padres. En Suiza conviven un arreglo de género tradicional modificado y de doble proveedor, y una política de permiso parental que promueve moderadamente la corresponsabilidad de género.
Parental leaves are instruments of public policy to reconcile work and family life, providing support in time and money to parents with newborn children. Parental leaves allow parents to take a break from their paid work activity so that they can dedicate themselves to their care-work. Specifically, this study compares the parental leave policies of Chile and Switzerland from an institutional and gender perspective. It analyses similarities and differen-ces in the dimensions of generosity, gender equity, and complementarity between care and paid work, and their implications for work-family policy. Using a cross-national comparative method, the results show that in Chile there coexist a traditional and dual-earner gender arrangements and a parental leave policy whichlimits the gender equity between parents. In Switzerland, there coexist a modified male breadwinner and dual-earner gender arrangements and a parental leave policy which supports moderately the gender equity.
