Men and women have equal owner- ship and inheritance rights to property. The default marital property regime is partial community of property. There are laws restricting the industries in which women may work. More specifically, there are restrictions regarding the employment of women in the areas of mining, construction, metalworking, factories, jobs requiring lifting weights above a threshold, and jobs deemed hazardous. Women are entitled to 126 calendar days of maternity leave with 100% of wages paid. Parents are entitled to an additional 647 days of partially paid paternal leave. The law guarantees pregnant and nursing women workplace protections from dismissal, placement in an equivalent position when they return from maternity leave, and rights to a flexible schedule. The law stipulates public provision of childcare for children under the age of primary educa- tion. The age at which men and women can retire and receive full benefits is 60 and 55, respectively. There is no legislation that specifically addresses domestic violence. Source: Women, Business, and the Law (2013).
