As we can see from examples like Prince Harry, millennial dads are taking more paternity leave than ever before. Parental leave, in general, is an issue of extreme importance to millennial parents. An Ernst & Young report found that 86% of millennials would be less likely to quit a job at which paid parental leave was offered.
However, dads still have a long way to go — there are roughly 300,000 babies born in the US each month, only about 22,000 fathers a month take paternity leave, according to an Ohio State University study from 2017. That number is up from about 6,000 fathers in the early 1990s.
