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. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Maternity leave.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85082111 650 0 Maternity insurance.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85066998 650 0 Maternal and infant welfare.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85082098 650 0 Pregnant women|xEmployment.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh86001908 650 0 Small business|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85123568|xEmployees.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00002753 650 0 Reproductive rights.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008005212 650 0 Maternity leave|xLaw and legislation.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85082112 650 7 Maternity leave.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1012037 650 7 Maternity insurance.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1715885 650 7 Maternal and infant welfare.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1011977 650 7 Pregnant women|xEmployment.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1075204 650 7 Small business|xEmployees.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1121250 650 7 Small business.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1121223 650 7 Reproductive rights.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1745961 650 7 Maternity leave|xLaw and legislation.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1012040 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 ILO pub.|2ilot 700 1 Stumbitz, Bianca,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2015033817|eauthor. 700 1 Miles, Lilian,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2002044859|eauthor. 700 1 Rouse, Julia,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2015033820|eauthor. 710 2 International Labour Office,|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79086351|eissuing body. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aLewis, Suzan.|tMaternity protection in SMEs.|dGeneva : International Labour Office, 2014 |z9789221290650|w(DLC) 2015380401|w(OCoLC)907469866 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=946156|zOnline eBook.
