Spain’s Constitutional Court recently ruled that the current law on childcare leave as it applies to single-parent families is unconstitutional.
The Court declared that the law unfairly treats children in single-parent families differently from those in two-parent families, and that a single parent should be entitled to the same amount of leave as two parents in a two-parent family.
Based on the judgement, effective from 6 November 2024, government-paid childcare leave for biological mothers in single-parent families increased from 16 weeks to 26 weeks.
