“…Mothers continue to be more prone to making use of policies that entail being penalized in their careers (especially through a decrease in their income). Therefore, those who opt for unpaid parental leave or reduced work hours are overwhelmingly women (Jurado-Guerrero, Monferrer, Botía, & Abril, 2018).…”

“…In particular, three time segments will be analyzed: from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Monday to Friday, after 5 p.m. from Monday to Friday, and on weekends, which will make it possible to compare the effect of standard versus nonstandard work hours. What has been called a “tight time schedule” (Fernández-Lozano, 2018a; Jurado-Guerrero et al, 2018), that is, one which concentrates work time within standard office hours, that is, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., could be associated not only with more time availability in the afternoon and evening but also with an alternative role to that of the traditional “male breadwinner” who spends long hours at work. Additionally, research has found that fathers with nonstandard schedules seem to be more involved with their children in some countries, like the United States (Wight et al, 2008).…”

Fathers as Solo Caregivers in Spain: A Choice or a Need?

The increase in fathers’ involvement in childcare in Western societies has not translated into an equal distribution of childcare between mothers and fathers. While some couples actually succeed in “undoing gender” when the first child arrives, their characteristics that define them are not yet clear. This article provides four different explanations that contribute to understanding how parents share routine care in Spain, using a sample of dual-earner, heterosexual parents from the Spanish Time Use Survey 2010. The results show that fathers are more likely to be “equal sharers” when they earn less than their spouse; do not hold traditionally masculine jobs (e.g., managers or blue-collar workers); have time available and, more important, their spouses are not available from 5 p.m. onward. In line with previous research, this study provides evidence that dismantles the “myth” that higher status employees, and/or those with college education, are more egalitarian in practice.

“…Asimismo, aunque entre los entrevistados teníamos tanto a hombres como a mujeres, el foco de atención sobre las consecuencias negativas de la tenencia de hijos en el ámbito laboral se desplazó espontáneamente hacia las mujeres, lo que indica que son ellas las que mayores dificultades siguen encontrando a la hora de conciliar ambos ámbitos. En futuros trabajos, en línea con Jurado-Guerrero et al (2018), habría que indagar en qué medida los hombres que empiezan a acceder a medidas de conciliación tras la llegada de los hijos experimentan consecuencias negativas en el ámbito laboral, que a su vez podrían repercutir sobre sus decisiones reproductivas.…”

Delaying the arrival of the first child? A qualitative study on the perceptions around childbearing postponement.In a scenario of lowest-low fertility levels like the Spanish one, characterized by a postponement transition, especially for first births, this paper looks into the most relevant perceptions and values which may be affecting the childbearing delay for the first child among people aged between 25 and 45 in the Community of Madrid. Based upon the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) applied to the fertility decision-making process, and by means of 16 in-depth qualitative interviews carried out in 2017 among women and men, the article aims at inquiring whether the expected negative outcomes of having a child, the perceived normative social pressures and the perception of dependence on external factors, are directly influencing the decision of having a first child. This article includes significant contributions from studies about fertility determinants and provides qualitative evidence about the factors that have an impact on this delay. The perceived motherhood penalty in the labor market, specially related to career progression, the perceived negative outcomes in terms of leisure time and freedom of movement, and the late achievement of the economic stability considered as ideal in order to have a child, may be having an impact on the postponement of the first childbearing. Our results suggest that social normative pressure may be less influential in Spain, while the high value attributed to individual autonomy may contribute to the delay of parenthood. Keywords: fertility postponement; motherhood postponement; low fertility; theory of planned behavior; fertility intentions; motherhood penalty; second demographic transition; values; in-depth qualitative interviews; Spain 1.

The purpose of this study is to examine the structural relationship between values of gender role, depression, and work-parenting conflicts of fathers. Methods: Data from 1,273 fathers were used among 7th (2014) and 8th year (2015) of the Panel Study on Korean Children (PSKC). Data analysis was performed using the SPSS 25.0, Amos 22.0 program. Results: Results showed that values of gender role had a direct effect on work-parenting conflicts of fathers. The values of gender role also directly influenced depression of fathers. Results clarified that traditional gender role beliefs give rise to depression and ultimately work-family conflicts of fathers. Conclusion: Depression was found to mediate the relationship between values of gender role and work-parenting conflicts. Therefore, to reduce work-parenting conflicts of fathers, it is necessary to educate them on social perceptions and systems that lower depression from traditional gender role norms. Implications of the present findings and follow-up studies were discussed in relation to workparenting conflicts of fathers.
