“…cia has been applied in various fields across the social sciences because of its strength in mapping typologies and critical conditions. These have included policy and governance (Brady, 2023;Chevalier, 2017;Escher, 2020;Hee Park, 2008); natural resource management (Kamran & Shivakoti, 2013;Li et al, 2021;Ogbaharya & Tecle, 2010);and, labour issues (Becker-Ritterspach et al, 2017;Robinson et al, 2022). cia makes it possible to conceptualise various practices which might differ from, or conflict with, each other as the cumulative choices of rational actors under given conditions.…”

The recognition of the importance of learning communities for postgraduate students has been on the rise in recent times. As a result, many postgraduate students may wish to establish a learning community (lc) with peers and/or faculty members as a way of benefiting from the support lc s offer. This study undertakes a conceptual analysis of some key features required for organising and sustaining lc s and utilises the comparative institutional analysis (cia) approach in order to model a variety of coordination types that can exist between faculty members and masters’ course students or doctoral students undertaking lc activities. This paper endeavours to conceptually depict the typologies of two lc s with respect to cia principles, and to draw conclusions about their respective cost-efficiency and sustainability, as well as outline implications for further research.

“…A study revealed that 60% of childrearing women in Japan ideally preferred to continue employment after childbirth, but only one‐third of them were able to do so, and only 13% continued working as regular employees for more than 5 years after childbirth 8 . Regular employment, which refers to full‐time positions without an employment term and directly employed by the employer in Japan, 9,10 is crucial for childrearing women as it provides better wages, job stability, training, and career advancement opportunities. Additionally, the provision of maternal leave is important for mothers to continue regular employment 11 .…”

ObjectivesThe demand on Japanese women to fulfill their dual roles as mothers and labor force participants leads to a subsequent reduction of their employment hours, switching of occupations, or quitting the labor force. This study aims to examine paternal factors associated with mothers' employment status 18 months after childbirth.MethodsWe used data from the 2010 cohort of the Longitudinal Survey of Newborns conducted in Japan. We restricted our analysis to 10 712 mothers who had full‐time employment 1 year before childbirth. A logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess paternal factors associated with mothers' employment after childbirth.ResultsOne‐third of the mothers with full‐time employment before childbirth were not working full‐time 18 months after delivery. We found that high childcare involvement (score 13–18) of fathers (OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.01–1.43) and fathers with part‐time employment (OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.12–2.26) were associated with higher odds of mothers' full‐time employment. Fathers' weekly work of ≥60 h (OR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.71–0.88) and higher annual income decreased the odds ratios by over 20%.ConclusionsFathers' work arrangements and involvement in childcare play a key role in helping mothers resume employment postchildbirth.
