Shared Parental Leave: A Lost Decade
Update: 2025-12-25
Description
Despite a decade since its implementation, shared parental leave in the UK has seen minimal progress, with only a fraction of requests qualifying. New data reveals that high-earning fathers in the south-east are primarily utilizing this benefit, while low-paid dads are being priced out. Critics blame past governments for insufficient promotion and lack of cultural shift. The current government is reviewing the policy and considering making paternity leave a day-one right, with experts advocating for bold measures to encourage more fathers to take leave.
