“…Fatherhood in this model is complementary rather than coresponsible with motherhood (Franzoni, 2021;Olvera & Luna, 2019), and reflects Maupin and Hackman's (2019) findings that male adolescents do not consider the impacts of children on their educational or occupational goals. Male participants may have viewed parenthood as only one aspect of their future lives (Haukanes & Hašková, 2020;Patterson & Forbes, 2012), and while they may have wanted more emotional closeness to their children, they did not want to radically transform the traditional gender division of labor (Chisholm & du Bois-Reymond, 1993;Gómez-Urrutia et al, 2017). This gender inequality is not explicit, but rather naturalized through discourses such as benevolent sexism, where restrictions on women's activities are framed as protecting them from the burden of greater responsibilities (Sierra de Gamalero et al, 2014).…”

“…This may derive not only from co-responsible fathers being more desirable, but an attempt to denaturalize paid work by resolving the imbalances in household tasks generated when women join the workforce. At the same time, girls often expressed willingness to increase their responsibilities in domestic work to accommodate men's employment, effectively renaturalizing the gendered segmentation of labor (Haukanes & Hašková, 2020).…”

“…Youth future orientations are also relational. Many scholars focus on "gendered relationalities" as individuals attempt to balance their own future paid and care work in relation to the actions or inaction of their desired or expected partners (Chisholm & du Bois-Reymond, 1993;Haukanes & Hašková, 2020;Patterson & Forbes, 2012). Though some studies show how youth may identify diverse forms of family formation (Forsberg & Timonen, 2018), many find that the majority of youth express heteronormative models of family structure and focus on the relationships between men and women (Haukanes & Hašková, 2020;Haukanes & Heggli, 2016).…”

Yet, in addition to negotiating gendered roles between themselves and their potential future partner, future orientation also involves intergenerational relationalities where individuals attempt to balance adult roles with the desired and expected roles of their potential children (Zartler, 2015).…”

“…Similarly, Haukanes and colleagues (Haukanes & Hašková, 2020;Haukanes & Heggli, 2016) drew on feminist theories of power to demonstrate how youth discourses reflect processes of naturalization, in which inequitable relationships are taken as natural: denaturalization (questioning and destabilizing the naturalness of specific orders) and renaturalization (attempting to resist or reverse denaturalization). Their studies in Czechoslovakia and Norway have detailed how maternalistic parental leave policies and state disinvestment in child care naturalize or renaturalize gendered segmentation in paid and care work, while promotion of the "universal breadwinner" model, which encourages female employment and men's participation in child care, may denaturalize these structures and promote gender equality.…”

This article examines children and youth’s future orientation in rural Guatemala by examining their reports of activities of adults and children in present and future households. A total of 690 students in a small town in highland Guatemala completed a household task attribution form that listed 29 tasks in seven domains (domestic chores, care for children, household decisions, responsibilities, household purchases, work for money, development) with four gendered household figures (man, woman, boy, girl). Using cultural consensus analysis, we analyze patterns of agreement and variation in responses to determine the existence of shared cultural models and gendered submodels in both time periods. Taking a gendered and intergenerational relationality perspective, we focus on the ways that future orientations reflect, (re)produce, and contest contemporary gender norms. Reports of task distributions in the present reflect “traditional” gender norms divided along “productive” and “reproductive” lines. While male participants’ conceptions of the future largely reproduced these structures, female participants appeared willing to increase their own domestic work to foster greater gender equality among their children.
