Executive summary

Why have parental leave? Parental leave supports all parents who share care-giving duties and want to take an active role in their childcare responsibilities. It also supports women who want to return to the workplace after the birth of a child, increasing their chances for a promotion, raise, or bonus. Companies may attract more talent and see a decrease in attrition when they introduce parental leave benefits.

Highlights include:

  • What an effective parental leave policy looks like
  • How to address the stigma of men taking leave
  • Companies and countries who are taking the lead
