I am not very familiar with the legislation, but I can talk about elements of the labour market that have not changed with the times. Particularly in the construction industry, the work schedule causes problems. During peak periods, women have to work 15 or 16 hours, just like the men. Construction sites open at 5:00 a.m. and close late in the evening. Even if there are day care services, they do not cover all the hours of work. Under the rules, a child cannot remain in daycare for more than 10 hours a day, and so on. It is not always possible to get care for your children at night. That is quite difficult for women.
