The parliamentary group leader of the Greens Katrin Göring-Eckardt suggests that the state should issue vouchers for household chores such as cleaning, mowing the lawn, but also childcare and care. "In the future, there should be vouchers sponsored by the state that can be redeemed at audited service agencies," says a five-page paper. So far, so-called household-related services can be partially deducted from the tax, which is why high earners in particular benefit from them, writes Göring-Eckardt.
"One of the first projects of a new federal government must be an agenda for equality and a self-determined family life," said the Green politician.
In their paper there are numerous election campaign demands by the Greens, such as the extension of parental leave to 24 months if both parents split up the time or an increase in the number of days on which paid employees can stay at home to look after sick children To take care of.
In future, this should be possible for at least 15 days, including for self-employed.
What is new is the requirement that protection against dismissal should exist for up to three months after the end of parental leave.
