Risk benefits during pregnancy and during breastfeeding (employee)

These are contributory benefits that are within the protective action of Social Security and whose purpose is to compensate for the loss of income suffered by pregnant or breastfeeding working women who have their contract suspended (or who ceases their professional activity, in the case of self-employed workers) because they are exposed to a series of risks that are inevitable and that could harm their health or that of their fetus or baby.
