Paternity Leaves: The Labour Law Dynamic (By Jaishree Bhadauria)
Published Paper
Article Details
With the steady progress of
developing rights and modern legislations, a country as India cannot lack in
addressing the need for wholistic paternal policy. The regard for child
development stands high and paternity leave is one of the major contributing
aspect of the same. The dire need for gender neutral provisions are slowly
paving their way into the legal framework by changing the outlook of society at
large. Although with respect to paternity leaves, the progress is by far been
very slow and discerning especially by the way of wholistic legislation.
However the internal policies of various organizations turn to the benefit of
male employees and their families. Family is an essential unit of the society
and the bill of 2017 could have contributed immensely to the benefits of this
unit. In conclusion, the provisions currently applicable in India do neither
address the need for healthy and developing family environment nor contribute
to limiting or eliminating gender related stigmas in the minds of many in the
society. With this situation at hand, there arises a great necessity for the
formation of paternity benefit legislation.
