Shikha Rajput, B.A LL.B (Hons), Alliance School of Law, Alliance University, Bangalore
ABSTRACT
A policy identified as paternity leave empowers fathers to take time off from work to care for and support their families after a child is born or adopted. Even though the idea of paternity leave is not new, it has recently received a lot of attention as more nations and organizations have come to understand the advantages of supporting gender equality and work-life balance for both men and women. There is disagreement, though, over whether paternity leave qualifies as a mechanism for women's empowerment. This critical analysis will look at the reasons in favour of and against this theory and give a general overview of the work-family balance and gender equality movements in general.
