From AWARE's CEDAW oral statement:

"Incentives are inadequate (see Article 11, page 71; points 11.38-11.41) for flexible work arrangements to become a norm. Absence of policies at the National level - for example on provisions for unpaid paternal leave or across-board paternity leave – only serve to entrench the ‘men as heads of household’ stereotype." 

 

Kudos, Germany! If not for the high taxes, I would seriously consider moving there.
