After a child is born, its very important that parents are provided enough time to bond with their new one. The working parents are looking for flexible working arrangements to manage both their career and family commitments. But do parental leave policies provide equal opportunities for either of the parents to take the leave without having an effect in their income and caring responsibilities?
