GermanyThe German government is proposing changes to parental leave benefits (Elterngeld), requiring fathers to take three months of leave instead of the current two. Under the new plan, the payment period would be shorter but the amount received would be higher. This reform aims to encourage more fathers to take time off work to care for their children, promoting gender equality in family responsibilities. The change reflects ongoing efforts to modernize family policies in Germany.
