Current system encourages ‘men at work, women at home’ culture, says shadow business secretary
Fathers should be offered “use it or lose it” paternity leave lasting at least three months to help challenge the UK’s entrenched gender roles and the prioritisation of work over family for men, according to shadow business secretary, Ed Miliband.
The former Labour leader is advocating for a “reordering” of responsibilities that gives men the option of spending more time caring for children without financial penalty.
