According to a study conducted in the province of Malaga, there is only one Paternal low for every 93 maternal. Apparently, the parents of this province of Spain, fail to start in the world of fatherhood as in other provinces. For example, in Catalonia, only in the first half of 2005, 795 parents enjoyed parental leave.
According to the data, of 7,123 permits granted by Social Security, only 76 correspond to parents. Only these 76 parents were encouraged to take care of their children while their partner worked.
Much has to do with mentality and culture, since there are still those who believe that this is a matter of mothers and can be harmed professionally if they exercise the task of caring for their child. For all those future parents who wish to have answers to the most common questions, in this short summary, you will find them:
Paternity leave is in the Family Conciliation Law. The possibility of enjoying a 10-week leave to take care of your baby is contemplated as long as the mother wants to give them to her, since in fact the maternity leave corresponds to the mother. In case both parents work, these permits can be distributed between them, first the mother for 11 weeks, (the first 6 are mandatory for the mother) and the next 5 the father.
But for these permits, Social Security requires to have at least 180 days quoted within the last five working years, and this leave entitles you to receive 100% of the salary.
You already know, dads, if you can, you must take care of your child, the child, the mother and yourself will appreciate it, since you can enjoy the first months of your baby
