Provide fathers upto 6 weeks paternity leave, including upto 4 weeks full pay

Petition Details

During a time when the mother and newborn need the father around most, we seem to think its okay to dramatically reduce a fathers pay and to send him back to full time work just 2 weeks after the baby is born - often when the mother has not fully recovered! A newborn needs both parents around!

Additional Information

Sweden gives fathers upto 12 weeks paternity leave with 80% of fathers full pay for the entire time.

Norway gives fathers 2 weeks paternity on full pay plus upto an additional 14 weeks on 80%-100% of their pay.

We are behind a lot of developed countries when it comes to fathers rights and fully paid paternity leave.
