Catherine Soft * Take David Cameron and Nick Clegg. The conservative Liberal Democratic duo has actually decided to overturn the UK, reversing a sock as a country "on the brink of the abyss." For better or for worse, have been going their own way. There are people who at least try, to become statesmen.Then history will judge them, but in their small, these men have ideas, and when the government acts. The authors of the hotly contested measure on the cuts and tuition fees that has led thousands of students in the square are also the authors of one of the most advanced social revolutions knows that the old continent.
An experiment that could change in the mindset of future generations deep, because "nothing is as it was before," as they say. From next April the British fathers will be able to stay at home until ten months after the birth of a child. In the best liberal tradition, the rule will not impose anything but touch to the families decide whether to use the period of leave (paid ten months from 90 per cent of the wage and then climb up to the end of the period) will be the mother or the baby's father.
What is so revolutionary in just a sneaky like this? At stake is equality between men and women, and despite much talk of the women in the United Kingdom, continue to play most of imcombenze home and family and career and to give up work to care for their offspring. Such a law makes men and women on the same floor, really upsetting the most archaic in the depths of the divisions of labor: the female in the cave to feed children, the male out to hunt, modern take in the classic "woman at home, 'man in the office.
" The English family plan is strongly backed by Nick Clegg, the Lib-Dem leader that the reform univeristaria brought down in the polls and that perhaps this measure also seeks recovery of popularity. While we await the details and modalities of implementation, the fathers of the English revolution gathers support from right and left.
Will that British political leaders are all-age children, between thirty and fifty. It will be that their wives and / or partners are not beautiful statues waiting for her husband to come home, but women with their lives, workers in general, women working, professional women. It will be a mix of greater civility and greater sensitivity, but in fact the sharing of rights and duties within the family is a shared theme, let's say bipartisan.
He was already on the political agenda at the time of Labour. Tony Blair's Downing Street was filled with children had arrived during the last mandate. But the same in September, when Cameron was born the second daughter, had taken the entire leave period. Fifteen days to approve said the law made by the Labour Party, and he complained saying that if were not for him would be home more.
In Italy every time we talk about fatherhood is twisted nose. Is there a law that allows the leave for fathers, but not very applicable. Only six hundred neopapà use them. Employers are opposed and still sounds strange that a man asks to stay home to care for a child. In addition, the system is completely different law.
Here, in the mother country and the Mediterranean families, there are 5 months of compulsory maternity leave for women, but the authorship is really an option. There are six months of voluntary leave, which may be taken by the mother or, alternatively, by his father. In the spring of last year there was talk of making a mandatory period of paternity leave for fathers.
Four days at home. A ridiculous thing to think about it. But even four miserable days had created the usual controversy and the usual bickering, with the two factions for and against the firmly anchored in their respective prejudices without even the possibility of opening a dialogue. Even in Britain, employers are opposed and the head of the Chamber of Commerce David Frost sharpens up arms against the measure and says: "In times of crisis flessibillità family is a real disaster." But rest assured that in the United Kingdom will.
We are not talking about even more than those four miserable days required. As always, there are other priorities. Or simply the Italian ruling class (not just the politicians) is so old that is not affected by these problems. * To learn more click here to Catherine Soft tell your story, write to: London @ ilfattoquotidiano.
