In 2019, the European Union adopted the work-life balance directive, introducing, among other things, an additional 9 weeks of parental leave for fathers - with no option to transfer it to the mother. This is a small revolution that could significantly impact work culture and the division of caregiving responsibilities. The company Pracuj.pl decided to examine how the new parental leave rules might affect the professional situation of parents in Poland. Consequently, a report was created that highlights the key challenges and hopes associated with the new regulations and emphasizes the need to further break down barriers that hinder fathers from taking parental leave.
We conducted a survey among 1404 working parents of children under the age of 10. The aim was to assess the social sentiments and understand how changes in the Labor Code might contribute to a more equal distribution of caregiving responsibilities and impact the attitudes of both employees and employers. The report generated from this study highlights key challenges and hopes associated with the new regulations, and emphasizes the need to further break down barriers that hinder fathers from taking parental leave. This was the first study of its kind in Poland to measure parents' attitudes towards change.
