Mark Zurkerberg took to his timeline to announce that he will take two months of paternity leave following the birth of his daughter. His announcement included the statement “Studies show that when working parents take time to be with their newborns, outcomes are better for the children and families.”

Zuckerberg is among the few higher-ups in tech to take paternity/ maternity leave. I feel that this constitutes a major step toward normalizing parental leave.
