Being a parent helps to put things into perspective – and make strategic career decisions.

Providing more flexible parental support would reduce the assumption that mothers should be the main caregivers and make it easier for fathers like Modesto Redrejo-Rodríguez to share childcare responsibilities.

Shared parenting and flexible working times make everything a lot easier.
