"Interviews with Norwegian women and men working in male-dominated areas of finance (asset management, markets, investment banking, corporate banking, and within large corporates) found that fathers did usually take their parental leave entitlements.

"For example, they would take the leave on Friday afternoons or in quiet periods like the summer holidays. Mothers, in contrast, took longer leaves in a block. As a result, they would have to hand over their clients to someone else and rarely got them back."
