Abstract
Paternity leave legislation is a crucial aspect of gender equality and family dynamics. In India, the absence of a comprehensive law on paternity leave in the private sector has led to a lack of awareness and understanding of its significance. This is further exacerbated by the prevailing notion that childcare is primarily a woman's responsibility, which is perpetuated by the absence of paternity leave. The International Labour Organization has been urged to introduce mandatory paid paternity leave to address these issues and promote gender equality.
