On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Mathew Mathews, Head of IPS Social Lab and Principal Research Fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies, about why more fathers in Singapore are taking paternity leave than ever before.

As more fathers take up their full entitlement, they explore what's driving the shift, whether workplace culture is finally embracing fathers as caregivers, and the challenges businesses, especially SMEs, face in supporting longer leave.

They also discuss whether family-friendly workplaces could play a bigger role in improving employee retention and even help address Singapore's declining birth rate.
