Yet very little is known about when and why these fathers take leave, and how couples negotiate who takes leave, when, and for how long. This article reports on a qualitative study in households where fathers took leave, carried out in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, which are governed by two distinct policy regimes. Drawing on interviews with 26 couples, we develop three arguments about what facilitates or hinders Canadian fathers’ take-up of parental leave. First, fathers defer to mothers’ preference in making leave decisions; moreover, breastfeeding plays a role in prioritizing mothers’ care. Second, these decisions are shaped by ideological and social norms in workplaces and communities. Third, public policy plays a role: longer duration of paid parental leave, non-transferable paternity leave, and some mothers’ ineligibility for paid parental leave affect fathers’ take-up of leave.","PeriodicalId":88482,"journal":{"name":"Fathering","volume":"8 1","pages":"300-320"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3149/FTH.0803.300","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69843994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"New Observations on How Fathers Work and Care: Introduction to the Special Issue-Men, Work and Parenting-Part 1","authors":"L. Haas, M. O'Brien","doi":"10.3149/FTH.0803.271","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3149/FTH.0803.271","url":null,"abstract":"This special issue highlights an area that is getting increased research attention-men, work and parenting. Once mothers entered the labor market in record numbers in industrialized societies in the 1960s, a substantial number of scholars began to study mothers' labor force participation--a phenomenon widely considered to be one of the most significant social developments of the 20th century. Important research topics have included work-family conflict, workplace and government policies that support working mothers, the division of labor for housework and child care among dual-earner couples, and the motherhood wage penalty. This research has been pioneering because it has dared to examine the linkages between two primary social institutions--the family and the labor market--that have usually been studied as separate rather than interlinked social systems. To a large extent, however, our knowledge about mothers' employment, its determinants and consequences, has stalled. This is because men's relationship to work and family life has been much less investigated. A basic tenet of gender theory is that gender is relational; that is, social definitions of femininity and masculinity are so intertwined that one cannot change much without the other changing at the same time. We therefore cannot really understand or improve the position of women in the family and in the labor market unless men's relation to work and family life is also well-researched and understood. The papers in this special issue contribute to that important goal. The papers in this special issue contribute to our understanding of men, work and parenting in several specific ways. First, the papers in this issue draw our attention to the contributions research can make when researchers analyze men, work and parenting in different social settings. Four nations get coverage in these papers--Canada, Norway, the UK, and the U.S. These nations vary considerably in how much they support working fathers. For example, Norway and Canada offer the most paid parental leave to fathers, while the UK offers little and the U.S. offers none at all. Kaufman and colleagues directly compare fathers' experience with taking leave at childbirth in the UK, where men have a modest statutory right to paternity leave, with men's experiences in the U.S., where men have no such right. Research makes a major contribution when it aims to be comparative; we learn substantially more about a particular social setting when we can compare and contrast it to another. The second contribution to scholarship that these papers make relates to methodology. While many areas of social science are dominated by one type of methodology, the new research stream on fatherhood tends to provide us with information that has been collected in various ways, and this is true for the papers in this issue. Four of the six studies rely upon analysis of in-depth interviews, a qualitative method that offers us rich description.

Miller","doi":"10.3149/FTH.0803.362","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3149/FTH.0803.362","url":null,"abstract":"This paper reports the findings of a small scale, UK based, qualitative longitudinal study on men’s experiences of transition to first-time fatherhood. The study commenced in 2005, two years after paid paternity leave was introduced in the UK and explores how men’s intentions around fathering involvement are imagined and shaped in prenatal interviews. Subsequent interviews following the birth explore how prenatal intentions are actually practiced. The introduction of paternity leave in the UK heralds the possibility of father involvement in more than just instrumental ways and these are realised through caring involvement across the men’s accounts. But the statutory two weeks of paternity leave is soon over and a return to paid work signals a “domino-effect” of gendered practises to unfold as the uneasy relationship between paid work and family life is negotiated. The findings illuminate men’s capacities to care in circumstances that can mitigate against their longer term—and more equal—involvement.","PeriodicalId":88482,"journal":{"name":"Fathering","volume":"8 1","pages":"362-378"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3149/FTH.0803.362","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69844638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seizing on moral theory and the concepts of justice and care, this paper argues that a 2005 Supreme Court of Canada decision awarding substantial child support in the context of shared custody effectively bridges the concepts of justice (child support) and care (time) in way that puts the child’s best interests at the forefront.","PeriodicalId":88482,"journal":{"name":"Fathering","volume":"8 1","pages":"147-162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3149/FTH.1802.147","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69848047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Guided by prior research, we used the youth personality scales activity, openness, and fearlessness, along with mothers’ and fathers’ support, to index the latent class assignments from the mixture model.

Today many countries, among them Estonia, encourage parents to reject a rigidly gendered division of labor. Most of the material and legal impediments to fathers’ opting for a nurturing role as a lifestyle choice have been abolished. But despite the recent availability of parental leave to fathers, Estonian parents’ division of labor remains rather conservative. Based on 18 semi-structured interviews with couples, the analysis focuses on couples’ private discoursive strategies that reflect and enforce conservative cultural values, interfering with the nurturing father revolution.","PeriodicalId":88482,"journal":{"name":"Fathering","volume":"8 1","pages":"226-243"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3149/FTH.1802.226","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69848212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analyses of 586 married resident fathers, their wives, and a target first-grade child (participants in the NICHD Study of Early Child Care) demonstrate that an additive model of father involvement accounts for the quality of father-child interaction better than a model which focuses on only one component of the system. Father parenting beliefs, child language skills, child social skills, maternal employment, and dyadic mother-child interaction quality each additively and significantly contribute to positive father-child interaction. Father average income and education levels relate to dyadic interaction, but individual and family characteristics account for their effects. Moderational analyses resulted in a significant interaction between father parenting beliefs and child social skills, providing preliminary support for the systemic ecological assumption that father-child interaction is better understood in a model that is not only additive but also interactive.","PeriodicalId":88482,"journal":{"name":"Fathering","volume":"8 1","pages":"203-225"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3149/FTH.1802.203","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69848170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
