Men and women have equal ownership and inheritance rights to property. The default marital property regime is partial community of property. There are no laws restricting the industries in which women may work. Women are entitled to 270 calendar days of maternity leave with 63% of wages paid and 90 days of unpaid maternity leave. Men are entitled to 2 days of paternity leave with 100% of wages paid and 14 days of unpaid paternity leave. Parents are entitled to an additional 3 days of parental leave with 100% of wages paid. The law guarantees pregnant and nursing women workplace protections from dismissal as well as placement in an equivalent position when they return from maternity leave; however, the law does not guarantee rights to a flexible schedule. The law stipulates public provision of childcare for children under the age of primary education. The age at which both men and women can retire and receive full benefits is 65.
