Can fathers' leave take-up dismantle gendered parental responsibilities? Evidence from Finland

2022

Objective: This article reports on the associations of fathers' leave take-up with parents' care responsibilities when their child is around four years old. Background: In families with small children women continue to do more parental care work than men. Several studies, however, have suggested that fathers who take up parental leave also take more responsibility for childcare. Method: We applied logistic regression analysis to Finnish survey data collected in 2019 from the mothers and fathers of four-year-old children to find out whether father’s take-up and length of leave is related to fathers taking equal or more responsibility for different dimensions of parental responsibilities, inc…

2016

Kaakkola, Anna. 2016. Isien näkökulmia lasten kotihoidontuen jakamisesta vanhempien kesken. Kasvatustieteen pro gradu -tutkielma. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Kasvatustieteen laitos. 69 sivua. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin isien näkökulmia lasten kotihoidontuen jakamisesta puoliksi vanhempien kesken. Tutkimuksen teko aloitettiin kun Kataisen hallitus ilmoitti suunnittelevansa lakiuudistusta lasten kotihoidontuen jakamisesta puoliksi vanhempien kesken. Suunniteltu uudistus jäi toteutumatta, mutta toteutuessaan se olisi pakottanut joko isät jäämään kotihoidontuelle tai perheiden olisi pitänyt viedä lapset aiemmin päiväkotiin. Tutkimuksessa haastateltiin yhdeksää isää, joilla kaikilla oli haastat…

Fathers’ Leave Take-Up in Finland : Motivations and Barriers in a Complex Nordic Leave Scheme

2019

Despite being the first country in the world to introduce paternity leave in 1978, Finland’s current national leave scheme is complex with regard to incentivizing fathers’ take-up. Taking the unique Finnish leave scheme as a case example, this article examines fathers’ motivations and barriers to leave. Although research on fathers’ take-up of leave in divergent leave policy contexts has increased dramatically, fathers’ motivations and barriers to leave have remained underresearched. The article reports on a survey sample of 852 Finnish fathers of infants who were taking paternity, parental, and other forms of leave, drawn from the Population Register Center. Results show that less than 20%…
