  1. I think shared maternity/paternity leave is a good idea and will be successful because men will now be able to take up on an additional paternity leave like women.

    However i think the shared maternity/paternity leave is a bad idea and will fail because it would put a great strain on the government if both parents are not working and are recieving statutory pay. In this economic crisis we can not be able to take this sort of strain at any point of the present time period.

  7. I think the shared maternity/paternity leave is a good idea because the baby will get to spend equal time with both of its parents. Also, the woman won't need to take as much time off because the man can take more time off to look after the baby so overall businesses should be happier.

    think shared maternity/paternity leave is a good idea and will be successful because it will balance out the unfairness heaped on women of child bearing age that no boss of a small company would give them a job.

    -I think shared maternity/paternity leave is a good idea and will be successful because this give the child a better upbrining and the parents still have a secure job while caring for there child and providing for them.
    -I think shared maternity/paternity leave is a bad idea and will fail because smaller businesses wouldnt approve and this means people may loose jobs and its discriminating against women at child baring age because they mahy not employ them so that they won't have to risk losing a worker.

  11. I think shared maternity/paternity leave is a good idea and will be successful because it will mean that the mother will not be taking as much time off work, and so bosses will be happier, as maternity leave will be shorter for some. Also it means that the father will also be able to spend a good amount of time with the child.
