Mr. Miyazaki is the first ever male lawmaker in Japan to request time off when his child will be born in February.
For a country known for its male-dominated business culture, Japan offers, as the OECD puts it, "by far the most generous paid father-specific entitlement".
New fathers—if employed—are entitled to 52 weeks of paid leave and they would earn nearly 60% of their salary. In comparison, the UK offers 2 weeks paid leave with a fifth of their average salary and the US doesn’t offer any.
But only 2.3% of those qualified took it in Japan last year. The government wants to raise it to 13% in 5 years.
"It is still a long way off so I thought by declaring that I want to take paternity leave as a lawmaker, I could set an example and cause a bit of a stir," said Mr. Miyazaki.
1 What does Mr. Miyazaki do?
2 Which country offers the shortest paid leave to new fathers?
选项
A、Japan.
B、The UK.
C、The US.
D、Australia.
答案
C
解析
题目询问哪个国家的男性带薪产假最短。新闻中段将日本、英国和美国的男性产假进行了比较,其中提到美国没有这种福利(doesn’t offer any),所以美国肯定是最短的,C为答案。
