Beskrivning

Fatherhood is in transition and being challenged by often contradictory forces: societal mandates to be both an active father and provider, men's own wish to be more involved with their children, and the institutional arrangements in which fathers work and live. This book explores these phenomena in the context of cross-national policies and their relation to the daily childcare practices of fathers. It presents the current state of knowledge on father involvement with young children in six countries from different welfare state regimes with unique policies related to parenting in general and fathers in particular: Finland, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, the UK and the USA.

Recensioner i media

"Marina Adler, Karl Lenz and their colleagues paint a detailed picture of fathers' involvement in child rearing in six countries. This volume represents a valuable addition to the cross-national scholarship on work and family, and helps us to gauge how masculinity is evolving in culture, policy and practice." Jerry Jacobs, University of Pennsylvania, USA
