>4-week leave for dad

西班牙男子将有4周'产假'

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，西班牙议会通过了延长父亲产假的提案，西班牙男子自2011年起将可享受为期4周的"父亲产假"。在西班牙，传统上是在婴儿出生的当天和次日，父亲可以请假照料家人。但是在2007年，西班牙通过了《性别平等法》，男子可以申请为期15天的"产假"。(见图)
