Paternity Leave In The UK

IHF submitted this story from the UK Telegraph. It's on fathers in Britain asking for paternity leave, and includes statistics supporting the need for paternity leave. The bottom line: men want paternity leave and many will make use of it. So why continue the discrimination? Here is a slightly older link to a story on the proposed government plan for paternity leave, which would allow two week's paid leave for fathers immediately after the child is born.
