Back in the 1990s, only 46 countries had a paid leave policy for fathers, largely high-income nations, per the policy center's data. Now the number is nearly three times as high. Sixty-three percent of countries around the world provide guaranteed paid parental leave for fathers, according to a report from the World Policy Analysis Center. Though support is growing for paternity leave, there's still a stigma attached to men who take time off to care for their children. Yet, studies find numerous benefits for the economy, for fathers, and for their partners. Increasing the uptake of leave by fathers is important because it is thought to enhance gender equality at home, can have positive effects on a child’s development and may reduce the barriers to parenthood.

Budget 2023: Paid paternity leave doubled to 4 weeks, unpaid infant care leave from 6 to 12 days By Amelia Teng on @straits_times https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/budget-2023-govt-doubles-paid-paternity-leave-from-two-to-four-weeks-unpaid-infant-care-leave-from-six-to-12-days What a wonderful article to find on Valentines Day. A fantastic, clear, explanation of how the Budget 2023 could improve the mental load, and let’s face it, child development and mental health of swathes of the new generations ahead of us! The changes effectively increase parental leave for working couples from 22 weeks to up to 26 weeks. Whilst this still isn’t in line with proven best practice in other parts of the world, and it still leaves a very clear gap, and responsibility, for private enterprise and corporations to calculate and fund themselves (to bridge the gap between statutory leave and evidence based best practice) it is wonderful to hear that Mr Wong said: “With the doubling of paternity leave, I hope the message is clear: We want paternal involvement to be the norm in our society, and we will stand behind all our fathers who want to play a bigger role in raising our children.” At Empowa we take the responsibility to help Private Enterprise and Corporations bridge the gap very seriously. Call us anytime to discuss how Empowa can provide weekly and monthly education and support services to keep your workers working, even when they have a another, very important, very time consuming and all life encompassing job, of being a parent on the side I’d love to hear from you 📞 🔗 in bio #backtowork #maternityleave #paternityleave #parentaleave #budget2023 #budget2023singapore #budgetsg #budgetsingapore #workingmothers #workingfathers #workingparents #fifthtrimester #helpingfamilies #sgmummies #sgmum #sgmummy #sgfamilies #postpartumdoula #postpartumdoulasupport #postpartumrecovery #doulasg #doulacare #doulasofsingapore #empowasg #empowayourparenthood #empowayourmotherhood (at Singapore / Singapura / 新加坡 / சிங்கப்பூர்) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoryYInSSqg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
