Paternity Leave

In the article, 　"More paternity leave considered" , the author explains a government argues that fathers who have new babies can have six months leave in order to take care of their babies, but they cannot receive salary. Also, the fathers can take two weeks leaves, and they can receive salary. In addition, parents who have children which are under six years old can inquire of pliable working schedules. However, this idea that the fathers can take six months leaves without salary was not acceptable to business principles. On the other hand, the idea is very helpful foe women. Also, it suggests that taking care of children is not only women’s work. Parents can share the work.

In my opinion, I agree the idea. Taking care of children is not women's job, but many people still think women should take care of children. Also, many men do not take the leaves because I think they worry about co-workers and atmosphere in their offices. However, they should think more about their wives than their jobs. Also, taking care of babies is an experience that they may have only once in their life. In addition, it is good experience for children. Thus, men should take the leaves. It is also good to help to increase population of young people.
