WBL: Legal Framework, Parenthood, There is paid leave available to fathers

The indicator assesses whether law provides paternity leave. Score=1 if the length of paid leave for fathers is at least 14 calendar days. Score=0 if there is no paid leave for fathers. If the length of paid leave for fathers is less than 14 calendar days and greater than 0, the score for indicator is calculated using a linear function, indicating that as the length of leave for fathers increases, the score increases.
