Quote
Research shows the benefits of strong paternity leave extend to the family unit as a whole. When dads take extended paternity leave or take on a primary care role, more egalitarian relationships result, housework is more shared, there are fewer divorces and couples report a more satisfying sex life. Children of couples in egalitarian relationships tend to be happier, healthier, do better at school, have greater self-esteem and fewer behavioural problems. Girls tend to follow less gender-stereotyped career paths, boys tend to be in more egalitarian relationships and fight less. For every month of leave a father takes, the mother’s future salary increases by 7%.
