Father’s care in a childhood perspective Gunhild R. Farstad NOVA/Háskola Islands

 Essay for the course: Childhood, changing contexts (Arnlaug Leira and Chiara Saraceno)  Article about fatherhood practices

The Norwegian parental leave  46/56 weeks leave  3+6 weeks reserved for mothers  2 week leave for fathers around the birth  10 weeks reserved “father’s quota”

Equal parenthood  Win-win situation  Both re-familization and de- familization

Mothers work life participation  Waldfogel (2000): studies of formal care in infancy  Esping- Andersen (2002): positive spill- over effect for the family

Fathers leave; the benefit for children  Much focus on fathers experiences  Length of leave = participating father?  Pleck (2007): integrated ecological- parental capital approach

My research  No direct relationship between length of leave and the way fathers shape their fathering practices.  Relates to different “contracts”  E.g. same leave; different “outcome”

 Doucet (2009): “A constant dance of connection that changes for each child and each parent over the course of each year”

 O’Brien (2009) Possible polarization between infants being born into parental leave- rich vs. parental leave poor families or counties.
