Britain’s paternity leave offer is meagre: two weeks, poorly paid, and inaccessible to many.
We teamed up with @jrf-uk.bsky.social to ask what a better paternity leave system could deliver for Britain.
The result? A boost to growth while supporting families.

Reeves knows she cant improve living standards across the country without tackling regional inequalities. Working closely with innovative local areas and investing in public health, early years and skills – all areas proven to have an impact on productivity growth - would be a good place to start.

I don’t envy Rachel Reeves today. While rigid fiscal rules can encourage short-termism and hinder investment its hard to argue that she is in a position to borrow more money. But her decisions to slash disability benefits and support for those with health conditions lacks long term strategy

🚨NEW IGN insights: Analysis from @tanyasingh99.bsky.social uncovers major local productivity gaps in the UK's foundational sector.
With stark inequality within regions, national policy alone will not be enough to address it. Local and subregional interventions will be crucial.

Luke Charters MP at PMQs today raising improving paternity leave and sharing new @jrf-uk.bsky.social and @centrepropolicy.bsky.social modelling which shows increasing statutory paternity leave to 6 weeks (with pay at 90% of earnings) could result in economic gains of £2.6bn in the near term.
