The Rights of Paternity Leave for Husbands in Indonesian Legal Renewal.

Gender equality and gender mainstreaming are the result of unifying efforts of legislative, executive and judicial bodies in Indonesia. Gender mainstreaming operationally can be interpreted as a national development with a gender perspective. This study aimed to examine the newly framed labor regulations in Indonesia related to the right of paternity leave; to investigate how a need was felt to regulate leave permits for husbands/families to accompany women who give birth/miscarriage to help recovery of the mother after giving birth. This study adopted a scientific approach by using normative juridical law research design. Normative juridical research uses library law materials as primary legal materials. The primary legal material for this study was obtained from the Draft Law on Maternal and Child Welfare, 2022 which is seen as a revolutionary plan to resolve issues related to gender equality and gender mainstreaming. The results revealed that the current policies on paternity leave in Indonesia are influenced by cultural and economic practices, and gendered social structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
