Paternity Leave Essay

Why paternity leave is beneficial It is outdated that men don’t care as much for children as mothers do. We have seen how the share of parenting increases. The thing is that we do not have the option to take the time off work that a child requires because there is no law that lets parents do that. An article from The Guardian says, “The US is the only developed country that doesn’t guarantee paid maternity or parental leave to workers” (Levin). Although we do not have a law that lets parents…

PATERNITY LEAVE CONCEPT IN INDIA Paternity Leave policy was introduced in India more than a decade ago by technology companies who wanted to attract talent and be known for their HR practices. This benefit is now also prevalent in government and public sector companies. With an increasing number of nuclear families, the government has realized the need to introduce this policy.

This quotation is saying that men don’t take paternity leave because their jobs don’t offer the financial support needed. In the ethnic article, it mentions that employers mostly only call back white people for jobs instead of black people.

Society in the United States is ever changing. I believe the US built, with the belief that this nation will be the best nation overall. Obviously, the pilgrims left their old society, to start and build their ideal society in the US.
