Description:... This paper looks into the legislative proposal of Papa Monats addressed by female Minister Hartinger-Klein and portrays the draft law analysis. During this process the legal foundations in Austria are explained as well as the new EU guidelines. Furthermore a comparison with other EU countries is made and the current debate in Austria is described. Finally we analysed the hypothesis, that an introduction of Papa Monats wouldn`t evoke any change in the participation of fathers, if no other policies are installed.
