Ninety percent of those surveyed reported their employer offered less than 12 weeks of paternity leave, but almost two-thirds said that they planned to take less than half of that. Fifty-eight percent admitted that they were afraid that taking even six weeks of paternity leave would set their careers back.
This phrasing of these statistics makes no sense. If the employer offers a small amount of leave, and then people take a small amount of leave, and are worried that if they want to take more it will be harmful for their career, all of these statistics go together. The article is phrasing it as if instead 90% of employers do offer 12+ weeks of leave.
