Paternity leave: How much time off work do new dads get across Europe?

In Europe, paternity leave policies vary widely, with the UK's offer being criticized as one of the least generous. Countries like Spain, France, Denmark, Poland, and Sweden have made strides in providing more time off and better pay for new fathers. Improved paternity leave policies have been shown to enhance family bonding, support parental involvement, and promote gender equality. Calls for increased government support to enhance paternity leave options for all dads have been growing, as research shows disparities in access to employer-enhanced parental leave and pay.
