Fatherhood in the Nordic Welfare States: Comparing Care Policies and Practice

Editat de Guöný Björk Eydal, Tine Rostgaard
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 ian 2016
The Nordic countries are known worldwide for their extensive welfare system and gender equality, which enables both parents to hold jobs, earn money, and care for their children. In this volume, scholars from the Nordic countries, as well as from the United States and the United Kingdom, explore the effects of these policies on fatherhood, and how the policies that support it contribute to shaping and influencing the image, role, and practice of fathers in a diversity of family settings.

Recenzii

“This comprehensive volume provides rich and theoretically grounded empirical analyses of Nordic policies and practices.”

"A fascinating, wide-ranging, and critical look at fatherhood in the Nordic world, covering home, work, and social policy, addressing growing diversity in these countries and celebrating a vibrant research scene.”

“At a time with a strong political focus on the falling birth rates, the book underscores the importance of men’s attitudes when attempting to understand what determines fertility rates.”

“This book is highly recommended to all scholars as well as students in the fields of comparative family policy, parenting, and fatherhood studies.”
