[originaltext] Mr. Miyazaki is the first ever male lawmaker in Japan to requ

Mr. Miyazaki is the first ever male lawmaker in Japan to request time off when his child will be born in February.
    For a country known for its male-dominated business culture, Japan offers, as the OECD puts it, "by far the most generous paid father-specific entitlement".
    New fathers—if employed—are entitled to 52 weeks of paid leave and they would earn nearly 60% of their salary. In comparison, the UK offers 2 weeks paid leave with a fifth of their average salary and the US doesn’t offer any.
    But only 2.3% of those qualified took it in Japan last year. The government wants to raise it to 13% in 5 years.
    "It is still a long way off so I thought by declaring that I want to take paternity leave as a lawmaker, I could set an example and cause a bit of a stir," said Mr. Miyazaki.
