When it comes to family leave, American fathers are left behind. A study by @luriechildrens.bsky.social & Feinberg's Craig Garfield, JJ Parker, & their colleagues finds that 64% of fathers took less than two weeks—or no leave at all—after their child’s birth. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Majority of working dads in study took 2 weeks or less family leave
