UK paternity leave is seen as old and unfair. A report suggests longer leave and more pay, but this needs more money.

New dads in the UK can take 2 weeks off work, earning £187.18 a week. Self-employed dads or those earning under £123 can't get this leave.
Spain gives dads 16 weeks off. In Sweden, families get 480 days off, with 90 for dads. The UK wants to improve leave for dads and families.
Dads feel unhappy. They say they go back to work too soon. The government wants to help parents.
