Leaving other issues aside, are dads ready to handle three kids?

China Daily | Updated: 2021-06-24 00:00

Ever since the country introduced the policy allowing all couples to have three children a heated debate has been raging on how long paternity leave should be.

Some experts have even suggested a month-long "paid leave" for fathers, which, many believe, will help reduce gender discrimination at the workplace, enhance the relationship between husband and wife, and strengthen father-child bond.

Maternity leave makes people think of women's rights and interests, but many forget that China also has something called "paternity leave". Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the country has adhered to the policy of gender equality, and placed high priority on protecting the legitimate rights and interests of women and children.
