Despite efforts to equalize childcare, the myth of the “primary parent” prevails–and it’s women who spend more time caregiving. Brad Harrington, director for @BCCWF, shares why some men still decline paternity leave.

In a @bccwf study, 86% of men report taking leave had a positive impact on their relationship with their children. Offering paid family and medical leave to employees can improve satisfaction and retention—@forbes says employers should take note. loom.ly/61ePgrY

The US has the “worst family-leave policies,” says Brad Harrington, executive director of the @BCCWF. Wall Street firms are increasingly offering generous paid leave plans to help new parents, but stigmas remain for some fathers taking paternity leave. loom.ly/xESBOOA
