Male staffers can get 730 days’ child care leave

Women government servants were entitled to CCL in three spells in a year that could be availed for up to two children. A 'single' male government employee has been defined as "an unmarried or widower or divorcee government servant". Though the number of eligible single male parents is likely to be limited, the move signals a shift from considering women as the principal care-givers for children.
