Maternity & Paternity Law in Mozambique
The 90-Day Historic Reform
Under the landmark Nova Lei do Trabalho (Lei n.º 13/2023), statutory maternity leave in Mozambique was officially lengthened from 60 to 90 consecutive calendar days, bringing national standards in line with ILO benchmarks.
7 Days Paternity Leave
For the first time, working fathers enjoy a dedicated statutory 7-day paid paternity leave immediately following childbirth, completely funded by the employer without salary deduction.
