Last March, Canada’s “use-it-or-lose-it” law, which allows for extended parental leave for the non-birthing parent in two-parent families, went into effect. If that incentive wasn’t enough to encourage dads to take parental leave, there’s this: new research says dads who go on paternity leave increase the chances that their relationship will last longer. Currently, the majority of Canadian parental leave claims come from women, who make up about 85 per cent of the total, CTV reports. The Globe and Mail reported that from March to October of 2018, 81,480 men took parental leave.
