The changing face of paternity leave
Although more firms offer paternity leave for dads, why don't many take it up?
Although more firms offer paternity leave for dads, we find out why many don't take it up. David Freed is author of the book 'Dads don't babysit', and discusses why so many more fathers take up paternity leave in Sweden than in the UK. Ian Blythe tells us why after a period of extended paternity leave, he decided to give up on his career. And Claire McCartney of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development explains why she thinks employers benefit from offering enhanced paternity leave. Also in the programme, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Janet Barrie reports on an outbreak of African swine fever in Bulgaria which has led to more than 130,000 pigs being culled. Plus we have a report on why India is becoming a popular spot on tours by international bands.
