Key facts on Work and Family balance:
KEY FACTS

* Australia remains one of only two OECD countries that do not have a legislated paid maternity leave system.

* Paid maternity leave is used by around one third (34%) of employed mothers-to-be. Use of paid paternity or parental leave by male partners is even lower at 25%.

* 35% of men currently work 45 hours or more per week.

* Fathers of young children are likely to be working a greater number of hours than other men. The average working hours of employed partnered fathers with an infant is 46 hours per week.
