Although this in of itself is quite fascinating, its especially interesting to note that the increase of paternity leave has had a positive affect on divorce rates. Our country suffers from such high divorce rates that most first time marriages are not expected to last. Perhaps this can be another step we can take to save our families.

Family leave policies in the USA apply equally to both mothers and fathers. Getting employers and fellow employees (men and women) to accept family leave for men is another matter. You can read more at:

I believe a paternity leave policy would have a great impact on the US. Not only would this allow father’s more time to bond with his child early in their life, it would also allow working mothers an easier transition to motherhood. More importantly, a paternity leave policy would deter much of the discrimination in the workplace against women who want to become mothers in the future.

In a lot of cases men are becoming the primary caregiver of the family aside from their financial contributions. You see more men taking their kids with them to run errands and handle duties traditionally considered a females obligation. When a newborn arrive men have to change their daily routine with the mother to ensure things run smoothly in the house. This is a time in which both mother and father should participate in the newborn experience. If this means both mother and father having maternity leave then so be it. This could improve the connection between mother and father as well as the child.
