LA15 Return to work and retention<br />
rates after parental leave, by gender.<br />
1. Relevance<br />
Many countries have introduced legislation to<br />
provide a specific length of parental leave. However,<br />
the application of legislation will vary according<br />
to interpretation by government, employers and<br />
employees.<br />
The aim of the legislation is to allow employees to take<br />
leave and return to work to the same or a comparable<br />
position. However, many women are discouraged from<br />
taking leave and returning to work by employer practices<br />
that affect their employment security, remuneration and<br />
career path. Many men are not encouraged to take the<br />
leave to which they are entitled.<br />

Equitable gender choice for maternity and paternity<br />
leave, and other leave entitlements, can lead to the<br />
greater recruitment and retention of qualified staff, and<br />
boost employee morale and productivity. Men’s uptake<br />
of paternity leave options can indicate the degree to<br />
which an organization encourages fathers to take such<br />
leave. More men taking advantage of leave entitlements<br />
has a positive effect for women in taking such leave<br />
without prejudicing their career path.<br />
