    Longer Paternity

    Why are working
    fathers should be
    given a longer
    paternity leaves?

    Presentation title
    Introduction
    Working fathers should be given a longer paternity leave because it can
    refine the ties between father and children, break the gender stereotype
    and it can help to stabilize the marital relationship.

    Presentation title
    Refine the ties between father and children.

    1. Fathers are committed to prioritizing their roles as parents given that parental leave provides
    dedicated child-centered time at home.

    a) Parental leave provides an opportunity for parents to be at home with their new child

    (Daghar et al., 2914; Petts & Knoestar, 2018).

    2. Parental leave provides an opportunity for parents to focus solely on parenting.

    a) Parents who take parental leave are rated as more communal, warmer and more like than

    those who do not take leave (Fleischmann & Sieverding, 2015; Krstic & Hideg, 2019;

    Mottarella et al., 2009).

    Presentation title
    Break the gender stereotype

    1. Many fathers still hold onto traditional belief that their women are responsible to maintain the household, meanwhile,
    men participate in contributing money for the family.
    a) Fathers seem to rather do childcare activities rather than household chores.
    b) Regardless, we are living in an urban society, still, the husband is still a product of traditional family nurture. Besides,
    most traditional families still uphold a mindset influenced by gender inertia (Sponton, 2021).

    2. The gender stereotype behavior can only be tamed with the absence of female family members during mother postpartum
    period.
    a) The fathers need to take over the household helping their exhausted wife with childcare since not all of them can
    afford to hire a formal caregiver.
    b) According to Sponton A., (2021) stated that the involvement of fathers in childcare shall only be temporary since
    apparently people tend to believe that stay-at-home fathers are bad fathers or a burden to a society which prevents
    the situation from remaining permanent.

    Presentation title
    Help to stabilise marital status

    1. A longer paternity leave can help mothers to reduce their postpartum days.
    a) Help to reduce 21% of mothers’ disability days on average of 105 days (Fontenay S & Tojerow I.,
    2020).

    2. Fathers at home can help to decrease mothers’ musculoskeletal disorders.


    a) Mothers tend to have back pain which is remain high even after the first postpartum (Saurel-
    Cubizolles et al., 2000).

    Presentation title
    Conclusion
    Thus, paternity leaves explicitly can refine the ties
    between father and children, break the gender stereotype
    and stabilise marital status.
