The Gender Equality Minister of Denmark has today announced that all parents shall receive public information about their children in October 2019.

European fathers is now entitled to 2-month paternity leave. The European Parliament has adopted new rules on paternity leave and non-transferable parental leave, in a final vote for work-life balance.

Denmark will as one of the first countries in the World from April 1st 2019 offer shared parents to have double living address for children and shared welfare benefits.

Children who experience parental break-up have higher stress levels, also many years after the break-up, and those living in a single parent household post break-up seem to be most vulnerable.

Shared Parenting in the best interest of the child has become a crucial issue for practitioners, researchers and policymakers around the globe. Within judicial systems, both parents are now increasingly recognized as vital in their children’s lives.

Paternity leave might be one of the best investments we can make for society. It creates love for children by both parents increasing the wellbeing of children throughout the life and facilitates equal opportunities for men and women in work-life balance.
