The online study about parental and paternity leave was obtained in the April of 2018 within the Festival of dad and in the study participated 407 fathers from all the districs of Croatia. The goal of the study was to examine involvement of fathers during pregnancy and childbirth, awareness about their rights, opinions about using parental and paternity leave and their experiene of using parental leave. The results have shown fathers participating in this study as very involved in childbirth preparation but they are very poorly aware about their rights and they hardly manage the parental leave scheme.
