Make paternity leave the same length as maternity leave
In both communities, paternity leave is far shorter and harder to obtain than maternity leave. Yet allowing for an equal amount of paternity leave would allow mothers to return to their work environment more rapidly, with the fathers staying at home to take care of their children, or would allow parents to combine their leaves in a sequential order, thus ensuring that the child's early months are spent with at least one parent.
