While the basic principles of motherhood are same around the world \u2013 care, love, sleepless nights, physical and emotional upheaval, constant juggle to balance, the support systems are very different. Support system apart from maternity leave includes other things like societal structure, child care infrastructure, and access to resources like nanny, daycares and much more.

Today, while 96% of countries provide paid leave to mothers, only 49% provide any leave to fathers, most often the leave is for two weeks or less. Paid paternity leave can extend anywhere from 0 days to as high as 14 weeks and above in regions like Europe, Australia, UK and Canada.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Paternity leave across nations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-284\" src=\"http:\/\/www.proeves.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Paternity-leave-across-nations.jpg\" alt=\"Paternity leave across nations\" width=\"446\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.proeves.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Paternity-leave-across-nations.jpg 446w, https:\/\/www.proeves.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Paternity-leave-across-nations-300x146.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By granting leave only to mothers, we presume care giving is solely a mother\u2019s responsibility. However this is changing. More and more fathers are leaning in to take parenting responsibility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantages of paternal leave include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Father\u2019s who take paternity leave are more involved with their children even after the leave ends. The time spent together creates an everlasting bond between the child and the father.<\/li>\n<li>There is enough research that shows children who spend time with both parents perform better intellectually and emotionally.<\/li>\n<li>Paternal leave allows dads to spend more time and share responsibilities more equally which keeps lower rates of post partum depression among moms and develops a healthy couple relationship.<\/li>\n<li>There are economical benefits of retention and productivity to companies which provide paternity benefits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is also interesting to know that where longer paternity leave is offered, not all men avail of it due to cultural perceptions that raising a child is primarily the mother\u2019s task, especially in countries like Japan, South Korea.<\/p>\n<p>While there is maternity and paternity leave, there is an interesting discussion around parental \/ shared leaves that can be provided. Graph below shares parental leave across nations. There are clearly many countries which provide leave to both.
