What’s mine is whose?

Some weeks ago at a party supply store, I saw a Halloween costume kit themed "island". Had I seen this assortment of flower-patterned dresses and fake hibiscus flowers in another part of the world, I probably wouldn’t have paid attention. After all, "tropical paradise" is a profitable marketing gimmick. But seeing the regular apparel of most people who live in Tahiti being sold here as a costume didn’t sit well.

Daddy do care

This week in The Global Tiller, we focus on one aspect of this complex problem — paternal leave. We take a look at parental leave standards across the globe and see which countries fare best. We also examine the known benefits of taking parental leave and why some people may be reluctant to avail this offer. What role does parental leave play in ensuring a better future for all?
