520 8  Although rarely quantified, the cost of maternity 
       protection in SMEs is widely perceived to be greater than 
       the benefits and to lead to competitive disadvantage. This
       review suggests that effective maternity protection is not
       only feasible in SMEs but can offer a range of positive 
       productivity-related outcomes for enterprises. To achieve 
       these positive effects, and for maternity, paternity and 
       family responsibilities to become "a normal fact of 
       business life", maternity protection and other work-family
       balance measures need to fit into the practices and 
       interests of SMEs. The report proposes a multi-pronged 
       approach, involving strategies adopted at state, market, 
       community and family levels to combat gender inequality, 
       support SMEs and ultimately achieve wider development 
       objectives. 
520    This report reviews the key international literature in 
       small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It also 
       addresses the questions of how, to what extent and under 
       what conditions maternity protection in SMEs can generate 
       positive outcomes for enterprises as well as broader 
       society.
