This same provision was debated in Hong Kong, but was rejected due the opposition of local women's groups, who argued that the law would be difficult to enforce as long as Hong Kong lacked the necessary child care facilities. The legislature in Taiwan, on the other hand, passed this provision without devoting serious thought to its enforcement.
此一條款在香港沒有通過，因為當地婦女團體認為，相關托育制度未建立前，執行不易；但此條款在台灣很輕易就通過了，卻從不見有人認真執行。
