‘Romea’ reports that the Czech Labour and Social Affairs Ministry has seen through yet another part of its planned social reforms despite protests from the opposition. On the other hand, many experts welcomed the fact that the ministry’s new approach toward the care of at-risk children would be clearer. The reforms are changing the parental leave benefit. The Ministry of Labor already began preparations last year to introduce professional foster care for a transition period and intends to gradually shift the funding for state-run children’s homes toward assistance for both original and foster families.
