Additional Material to be Added:
- Paternal leave status from other places around the world other than Norway

- The benefits and negatives of paternal leave for both parents and the child

- More in-depth on the controversy

- More in-depth on the history and the movement

These are just some listed potential improvements since some of these areas are completely lacking and do not give the full background and implications of paternal leave. These suggestions will help to round out and polish much needed areas of the article to give the reader the full scope of the topic.

Impacts
Families stand to benefit greatly when fathers take paternity leave, becoming ever more apparent with increased the length of leave taken. New fathers who stay home tend to have stronger bonds with their children and is shown to have greater engagement in parenting roles. These benefits are not limited to solely the child counterpart, but also is helpful to new mothers through the allocation of parental duties. Those fathers who stay home to help their spouse with childcare responsibilities further help by giving chore relief to their partner and often allows women to re-enter paid work. Paternal leave gives adequate downtime for both parents to take on such childcare duties. Studies have shown that new fathers who are offered leave were 19% more likely to participate in child related responsibilities such as feeding and getting up to quiet a crying baby .This step is something that will help further gender equality in home and at the workplace as paternity leave begins to become more normalized across the globe. Companies that guarantee paternal leave to new fathers have seen positive benefits in their employees performance and well being with very little to no financial repercussions to business. Impacts for fathers and their families may stem from fear of negative effects on financial earning for taking paternity leave and the associated potential risk of receiving disciplinary actions or demotions. To combat this stigma those who take paternal leave are quite likely to influence their male coworkers to take the leave when they have children of their own. This cycle will help to eliminate the 'old-world' gender role ideals that imply women are to stay at home while men must work to support mother and child.
