Paternity leave for men is too short, so it is suggested to extend it with pay.

During the two sessions, it is suggested that men and women be forced to take paternity leave for one month, and they rushed to the hot search, which triggered a heated discussion among netizens on paternity leave. Some netizens expressed strong support for paternity leave, arguing that the current maternity leave arrangement is unreasonable, that is, widowed parenting. In order to improve the fertility rate, it is necessary to reduce women's worries about fertility and parenting in terms of child rearing and career development.

With the implementation of the three-child policy, maternity leave has been extended in various places, ranging from one hundred days to one year. For the employer, the increased cost is mainly the wage cost and the replacement labor cost during the extended maternity leave. On the one hand, maternity allowance cannot cover the wages of female employees during maternity leave; On the other hand, if employees leave their jobs for a long time, the employer needs to arrange other employees to share the work or increase manpower and increase wages.

Feng, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a senior consultant of Pfizer China, said: "This is likely to lead enterprises to choose to reduce the recruitment of women."

Extending maternity leave has become a "roadblock" for women's career development? Raise the hidden threshold of female employment? Yang, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group, said that increasing the number of male paternity leave days can reduce female employment discrimination. Raising children is the responsibility of both men and women. Many members suggested extending the paid "paternity leave" and implementing the system of sharing leave between men and women, so that both men and women can share the responsibility.

Feng suggested that the policy of sharing holidays between men and women should be implemented and a maternity reward system should be established. "It only takes a woman about a month to recover after giving birth to a child, and the rest of the holiday is mainly to accompany the child to grow up. However, accompanying and caring for children is not a woman's patent, and men can also. " Feng said to him.

Jiang Shengnan, a deputy to the National People's Congress, a researcher and writer at Wenda University, believes that the current regulations on maternity leave and paternity leave mainly focus on increasing women's holidays, which aggravates the adverse impact of childbirth on women's employment and needs to be improved as soon as possible. It is suggested that men's paid paternity leave be increased to 30-42 days. Here, the puerperal period of women is 42 days, which is a period when spouses need to take care of them very much.

Lei Houxing, member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and honorary president of Lishui Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Zhejiang Province, suggested that the maternity leave system should be innovated, and the number of days off should be determined by both parties through consultation. For example, the 98-day national statutory maternity leave is enjoyed by the woman, and the extra N days (off-site) are enjoyed by both parties. If the woman takes a day off, the man takes an extra day off on the basis of the statutory paternity leave.

In fact, the systems of "maternity leave" and "paternity leave" need to be improved, and "paternity leave" is even a vague concept in many people's consciousness. During the two sessions, the deputies once again put forward suggestions on the "maternity leave" and "paternity leave" systems from various aspects, which also showed its importance. No matter "maternity leave" or "paternity leave", it is not a trivial matter that can be dissuaded and erased, but a major event that whether the basic vacation rights of ordinary workers can be guaranteed, or even a major event that relieves the pressure of family childbirth and improves the maternity insurance system.
