"Paternity leave is the thing that made the difference for women's equality in this country."
That's surprising, and intriguing. I've never thought of that, but it's quite plausible. I wonder if it's right...
- Tichy 18y agoI wonder how to make it happen. I think in germany we now have laws that allow paternity leave for fathers and mothers alike. But if the father earns much more money than the mother, it still doesn't make sense economically for the father to stay at home. EDIT: here on paternity leave, you get some money, but not your full salary.
