Word origin

출산휴가 (chulsanhyuga, "maternity leave") is formed from 출산 (chulsan, "childbirth") and 휴가 (hyuga, "leave"), so its parts directly describe leave connected with childbirth.

Usage tips

  • Workplace policies can differ in length and pay, so the word alone does not specify how many days are available or whether the leave is paid.
