N.Korea extending maternity leave – KCNA

North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Wednesday announced the revision of its law on maternity leave, complete with a 90-day extension.

Under the revisions, maternity leave will be expanded from 150 days to 240 days, including 60 days before childbirth and 180 days after.
