What will happen if men and women take maternity leave at the same time?

Many units do not like to recruit female employees when recruiting, because they think it is more troublesome to recruit female employees. After getting married, they need to have children and take maternity leave, which wastes working time, and men do not have it. Due to these problems, female employees are not considered at all in some positions with relatively good remuneration. However, it is understandable and unchangeable for women to take maternity leave. Our country has clear regulations for women in the workplace to take maternity leave. Now women can legally take maternity leave, but I haven’t heard of any company also allowing men to take maternity leave. What do you think it would be like if men and women were allowed to take maternity leave at the same time? You are welcome to share your views below in the comment area.

1. I believe that allowing men and women to take maternity leave at the same time is a reflection of social progress.

I think if one day the company really allows men and women to take maternity leave at the same time, it means that our society and our country have made progress, because this in itself is a reflection of social progress and humanistic care. Taking the current situation as an example, the maternity leave time for women in our company is about three months, but the maternity leave time stipulated by law is 98 days. Don’t think about taking 98 days off. Many people don’t even take three months. I came back, because if I didn’t come back I might lose my job, so I usually start working after two months of rest. Women are still like this. Do you think it is possible for men to take maternity leave?

2. Many foreign countries allow men to take maternity leave.

Although men do not have the right to take maternity leave in our country, many countries abroad allow men to take maternity leave. For example, British men can enjoy 21 weeks of paid leave during the period when their wives give birth; Norwegian men are paid Vacation can also be up to 12 weeks; in Finland, men’s maternity leave is as luxurious as women’s maternity leave, which means that men can accompany their wives throughout the childbirth period. What I envy the most is Sweden. Both men and women in Sweden have 480 days of paid leave. 480 days is equivalent to about 16 months. This is like a year and a half of rest, and it is still paid. You envy it. Already?

3. Will it be long before men and women in our country can take maternity leave at the same time?

Looking at our current situation, and then looking at the foreign male vacation market, I can’t find any other words other than envy. I think we should learn from advanced foreign cultures, because everyone now advocates equality between men and women, so why can't men and women take maternity leave together? Isn't it equal when on vacation? I hope our country can also implement the provision for men and women to take maternity leave together as soon as possible. Do you think the dream of men and women taking maternity leave at the same time can come true?
