contents Paid leave to support parenting-A neglected tool to improve societal well-being and prosperity Ariadne Malamitsi-Puchner Laura Addati Guðný Björk Eydal Despina D. Briana Flavia Bustreo Gian Carlo Di Renzo Margaret O'Brien Mark Hanson Neena Modi Cohesive families and stimulating and caring environments promoting attachment to caregivers is fundamental for a child's physical and psychosocial growth and development. Parental care, supporting early years development, presupposes the presence and involvement of parents in children's daily life with activities that include breastfeeding, playing, reading and storytelling. However, parents have to balance their child's well-being against employment, career progression and gender equality. Universally accessible and equitably available parental leave addresses this challenge. CONCLUSION: Distinct from compulsory maternity leave, leave at full or nearly full pay for both parents benefits not only families but also societal well-being and prosperity. 10.1111/apa.16929 DOI https://doi.org/10.1111/apa.16929 publication.journalArticle
