Introduction

In the day of technological revolution when technology has enabled people to bring work home, the fine line between work and personal life has increasingly diminished. Highly sophisticated and easily affordable technologies "have made it more feasible for employees to keep contact with work" through emails, mobile phones and computers that transcend the physical boundaries of their workplace (Olson-Buchanan and Boswell, 2007). Workaholic employees who deem their professional growth as an important part of their identities are more prone to make use of these communication technologies by responding to work related emails or voice mails even after work-hours or ...

The age old debate continues about whether or not men should be granted paternity leave after the birth of their child/children. Paternity leave is categorized as leave that is taken by a male after the adoption or birth of a child. In some instances this leave goes unpaid. After the birth of a child, the mother is left with a lot to do, as taking care of a newborn properly is very time consuming.

Child support is a contentious topic, as it is an issue that comes up when two people are often at their most vulnerable and explosively emotional point during a divorce. While most parents want what is best for their child or children, child support can become an issue between two otherwise-level-headed adults who feel that they are being treated unfairly by the system. To properly understand the policy and logistical considerations of the child support system in the United States, it is important to keep in mind that there are a wide variety of extenuating factors that dictate the amount and type ...

Though the length of maternity leave may vary from one country or state to another, this type of leave is formally recognized in many constitutions. Apart from maternity leave, paternity leave-a relatively new aspect to natal care, is rapidly gaining root. While maternity leaves make absolute sense, a lot of controversy characterizes paternity leaves. Is it ...

4. The changes that the author refers to in the quote “and most men have yet to really adapt to the changes in women” center on the different roles that women play in the household nowadays. Women are the breadwinners now just as much as the men are; they have forsaken traditional homemaker roles and have more demanding lives. Thus I think the author is right. Women must balance work and family life so they are more at pressure to meet all of their responsibilities as best they can. Yet a lot of men cannot handle this aspect of marriage ...

When an individual of mixed race has had to identify him or herself by verifying how equal the whiteness and blackness is, they ...

Paternity Leave Rights Needed for U.S. Fathers

Introduction

Regarding parental leave from employment when a child is born, that leave is termed “maternity leave” if it is for the mother, and “paternity leave” if it is for the father. The reasons for granting working mothers such leave are fairly clear (both prior to and following the birth), but the reasons for allowing the father such leave are perhaps less obvious. Relevant issues include the reasons for granting paternity leave, how the U.S. compares with other countries in that regard, the impacts of men taking paternity leave, whether it should be paid ...

DPB Current policy:

The recent policy changes have introduced that on the DPB, mothers will be required to start looking for part time jobs when the child turns 3 and full time jobs once the child turns 6. This would enable the mother to gain financial support for her child without the help of the father of her child. But this policy was highly criticized. The Ministry of social development contested that by working for 20 hours the mother could go off the benefit. Now, assuming that they were going for a job at the current minimum wage, what the MSD is effectively ...

As the global economy deteriorates, the median family wealth falls dramatically, and the cost of raising children becomes more and more expensive. Parents are forced to plan their families and have only the children whom they can care for. The cost of bringing up a child stretches beyond food, shelter, clothing, education, health care, and transport. With the increase in the cost of food, gas, health care, education, and so on, child rearing becomes even more expensive. The overall impact is a decrease in family size. This paper analyzes the family size in two countries, Australia and Saudi Arabia. In particular, ...

Paternity leave is yet to receive the full recognition it deserves. Employers and the society at large make the assumption that, since fathers are not directly affected by the birth of a child, paternity leave is merely a convenient provision of the law that ought to be overlooked. Only a few employers led by the federal government, offer paternity leave with pay. Many other employers offer paternity leave without pay. The question that arises then is whether employers ought to pay employees on paternity leave. Of course, my response is in the positive. Men, like their female counterparts, need a break to get ...

Paternity leave is among the three parental leaves, which grants an opportunity for employees to take care of their child. These parental leaves include paternity, maternity, and adoption leave. Such a leave may be paid or unpaid, but the employer has the right of determining these benefits as the employment law outlines. As such, “men should get paternity leave from work”. The debate of whether men should be given paternity leave has been there for a long period of time. Some organizations have maintained that men should not be given paternity leave. However, other organizations have gone ahead to give paternity ...

1. The term ‘new macho’, upon first inspection, is a paradox: the encouragement for men is to adopt their ‘new man’ status through taking “girly jobs” and “dirty diapers.” Put basically, the new macho-man should be willing to take on jobs that are considered to be traditionally feminine as the new man is not affected by what is/isn’t masculine, and is more concerned with completing the tasks as and when they need doing. For example, if the baby’s diaper needs changing then the man should do it. The concept of ‘new macho’ is not interested in traditional gender ...
