>4-week leave for dad

西班牙男子將有4周'產假'

The Spanish parliament recently passed a new law extending paternity leave from the present 15 days to 4 weeks starting from 2011. Traditionally, fathers in Spain can have 2 days off: the day when the child is born and the next. But in 2007, the Equality Law was passed and men had since been able to enjoy 15 days of paternity leave.(See photo)

近日，西班牙議會通過了延長父親產假的提案，西班牙男子自2011年起將可享受為期4周的"父親產假"。在西班牙，傳統上是在嬰兒出生的當天和次日，父親可以請假照料家人。但是在2007年，西班牙通過了《性別平等法》，男子可以申請為期15天的"產假"。(見圖)
