Fig. 3. Number of all permanent work contracts by gender Parental leave in interdependence to the academic career stage In the present work we analyzed the gender differences, the academic career stage and the age structure in interdependence to the claim of parental leave. From 2013 to 2015 women applied for parental leave 178 times and men 47 times. On average women claimed 170 days of parental leave and men only 47 days (the medium age for both genders 35,5 years). The parental leave is most commonly claimed between the ages of 31 and 35 (m/f). Fig. 4.
