'Even when paid leave is guaranteed, many men fear it would set them back at work. A new study from Norway shows a way to a solution.'
a nationally mandated 12 weeks of paid parental, family and personal illness leave — of which paternity leave would be a part — in his American Families Plan.
But the Norwegian example suggests that while making paid paternity leave available to everyone is critically important, it is only a first step. Even with the door open, many men will walk through it only if doing so is compatible with staying on the fast track at work. Norway provides much of the best evidence on men’s career patterns after paternity leave, thanks to a major policy change there in 1993. Fathers of children born after April 1 that year became eligible for four weeks of use-it-or-lose-it fully paid parental leave. As a result, the share of fathers taking leave jumped to 50 percent, from about 5 percent.found that Norwegian men’s salaries grew more slowly if they took paternity leave.
One hypothesis was that a worker’s skills became rusty while he was on leave, making him less productive when he returned. A second plausible explanation was that after bonding with his children during paternity leave, the father became less focused on his work and put in less effort. The new working paper by Ms. Ku, Mr. Johnsen and Mr. Salvanes finds that something else is going on: The short amount of time away from the office gives co-workers a small advantage over leave-takers that shows up in promotions and other workplace advantages.
