b'When fathers take leave to look after their children, the whole family benefits. Research shows there is a link between the amount of days\' leave fathers take and their satisfaction with their relationship with their child. Increasing fathers\' uptake of child-related leave is also considered beneficial for children\'s development and gender equality. Fathers\' involvement in childcare also affects women\'s decisions to have children. Despite this, fathers took only 2 % of the leave available to either parent in the EU in 2010. The EU wants to change that and give men more opportunities to get involved in caring for their families.\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t
