More flexible parental
leave. Piet Hein
Donner, Minister for Social Affairs and Labor, wants to bring more flexibility
into leaves for employees who want to care for sick children or parents. Thus,
fathers could take part of their paternity leave when their child is born and
the rest later, when the child is a little older. This is impossible for now,
which thwarts young fathers who devote much time to their children. More and
more men choose part-time to spend at least one day a week with their kids. According
to a study by the Randstat temporary work agency, 13% of men work less than 35
hours a week, but 42% want reduced working time.
