In reference to the question on paid leave for men to care for children, paternal leave is available for men in Canada. This leave is also extended to parents who adopt children. I think that this is an excellent opportunity. It would seem that men who spend time caring for the child while it is a newborn baby are more able to adopt, subsequently, a more balanced childcare environment. Unfortunately, in Canada part-time and home based positions are lower paid, but I think that as computers and the Internet become more available, this will change.
Computers make information readily accessible.
Women who are more educated are less likely to stay at home, and more likely to enter fields with the higher paying jobs. Thanks for your enlightening forum. Women-Economy is hosted by WomenWatch, United Nations.
