Couples trying to have a baby through infertility procedures may become entitled to up to three days of unpaid leave from work from as early as mid-2017, according to a government plan unveiled Tuesday.
The plan, approved by the Cabinet on Tuesday morning, entails a set of new measures to boost the country’s low birth rate, which stands at just 1.24 births per woman.

While encouraging couples to have more babies, the government has been rolling out various measures to support infertile couples and prevent miscarriages.
Along with the envisioned infertility-treatment leave, the government plans to expand the scope of childcare leave to include pregnant women. Currently, the leave is allowed only after giving birth, not during pregnancy.
The government aims to amend a related law and implement the measures in the second half of next year.
