dc.description.abstract	Maltese Social Security legislation is written with the male breadwinner in mind. It tends to penalize employees who opt out of the labour market to raise children. It is true that Maltese women working within the civil service are eligible to 13 weeks paid and one week unpaid maternity leave, one year unpaid parental leave for each child and a one-time career break of three years which is unpaid. These options are available within the civil service, while workers working within the private sector are eligible by law to the paid maternity leave and other arrangements made with a particular company.	en_GB
