Parental leave
The term parental leave is used in Austria, the catchphrase describes efforts in family policy that, in addition to the mothers, fathers increasingly also take care of their small children .
The concept of paternity leave goes beyond paternity leave as early leave after the birth. By expansion of the children - or parental leave benefits to working fathers, when they are at least several months karen grace leave, the entitlement to child benefit increases over the period beyond which the social policy has traditionally provided for young mothers. In addition, there are other forms of temporary interruption or reduction in work intended for family care regardless of the age of the children.
The parental leave comes from the Scandinavian social models, so the Swedish model provides for several forms of temporary employment interruption or reduction for family care regardless of the age of the children, with wage replacement benefits. It is taken as a model in Central Europe, for example in Austria.
