UK companies typically offer above the statutory minimum, allowing five weeks of paid paternity leave.

The result? Dads are forced back to work early, missing out on valuable bonding time with their babies. Meanwhile mums are left caring for a newborn solo.

Maternity leave in the UK is pretty dire but we're not the only ones being screwed.

Statutory paternity pay is set at £187.18 per week or 90% of men’s average weekly earnings (whichever is the lower amount) for two weeks - one of the least generous entitlements in Europe.
