Paternity leave, excellent against fathers post-partum depression
Maria Melchior was a guest on "La Maison des Maternelles" this Monday 23, to talk about her work on paternity leave.
In the weeks following the birth of a child, both parents are likely to develop depression. Paternity leave, recognized for its benefits on family balance, child development and gender equality, could be one of the keys to prevent this pathology that affects one father and almost two mothers in ten.
Fathers benefiting from 2 weeks of paternity leave would be less likely to develop postpartum depression.
