Can it be fixed? In the end, pay is linked to productivity. The only fix I see is increased use of paternity leave.

Productivity on paternity leave is zero, since you're not working, so why expect pay to be anything but zero?

"Paternity leave" is an attempt to create a non-capitalist bubble inside of a capitalist world. It's like building a colony on Mars; not something you can do trivially.
