The article deals with the legal regulation of parental leave in Norway. It is an example of the Scandinavian model, which pays a lot of attention to the gender equality, to the promotion of active fatherhood, and to more equal distribution of familial responsibilities between both parents, and, consequently, to the promotion of equal opportunities of women and men on the labour market, in the professional life. In Norway, the paternity leave was introduced in 1977 and the father's quota of the parental leave in 1993. Since then, the regulation has been amended several times; however, practical experience shows that fathers use these leave and take part in caring for the children. The social partners and collective agreements have an important role in this area as well, adding rights to the legal regulation. The Norwegian solutions could be the source of possible ideas for the development of legal regulation in this area in Slovenia, taking into account, of course, the cultural, social, economic, and other characteristics of our society and legal tradition.
