Ina Libak and Astrid Hoem from AUF have in the Newspaper on Tuesday 19. February, a post on parental leave. They want to replace the current permisjonsordning with a two-part leave of absence where the weeks are equally divided between both parents.

Politicians its premier task is to make everyday life easier and more flexible for most people. We should therefore remove the fathers quota, and make all permisjonsukene optional for families.

Will not change the pappapermen

Libak and Hoem starts his post by saying that the debate on the parental leave evokes many emotions. It has the right, and it is to be a parent is probably one of the most emotional moments a human experience. It should therefore be a matter of course that families are allowed to decide for themselves how to share parental leave. It is an individual choice that the state should not add up.

the welfare state in Norway, we have ensured that we have one of the world’s best while the remaining. Parents have the right to leave in 59 weeks with 80 percent pay or 49 weeks with 100 percent pay. The good foreldrepermisjonsordningen contributes to the fact that the parents early links important links to the child that lasts a lifetime. I am therefore very happy that we have a good permisjonsordning that provides the opportunity for both parents to establish a good relationship with the child.

Have changed the vision

All families are unique. It means that something that is appropriate for one family is not necessarily suitable for another family. It is therefore important that we allow families to determine the distribution of permisjonsukene even. Neither dichotomy or tredeling is optimal. It is not the state’s task to decide how families should allocate leave. The state should not put itself up in the privacy of the families. How permisjonsukene to be able the families fine to decide for themselves without interference from the reguleringskåte politicians.

I think it is sad that politicians constantly promotes the suggestion that quite obviously provides less freedom of choice for families. It is not something new that the AUF want to add up in how people choose to live their own lives, but they should hold themselves too good to decide over how families want to distribute the permisjonsukene they have been assigned. Here are the admittedly not alone, there are too many parties in Norway that don’t rely on the fact that the families themselves know best.
