“…Under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's administration, bigger focus is put on the role of fathers in childcare. This era marks the awareness that fathers also play a role in childcare as shown by, among others, articles written by Michael Rush (2015) and MS Tingting Tan (2016).…”

This article analyses the implications of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's womenomics policy on the relationship between female and male workers in Japan in professional and social environments. The objective of this study is to explore how Shinzo Abe's womenomics affects the relationship between female and male workers in professional and social environments. The conceptual framework used is the concept of patriarchal culture in order to find out the influence of patriarchal culture on the implementation of womenomics in Japan, considering that Japanese society still holds patriarchal culture in their social interaction. This article suggests that the dominance of patriarchal culture has prevented the implementation of womenomics from giving effect to changes in the way people view women's position. This article is a qualitative research with the data collected using literature study / literature review technique. This article shows that womenomics policy, in spite of the claim of its success and capacity to increase Japanese economic growth, has implications with regard to the relationship between female and male workers in Japan. Womenomics has a positive impact in terms of increasing number of female workers thus allowing female workers to reach high positions in the professional work such as managers. However, the patriarchal culture retained by the community has undermined womenomics as a mere tool for achieving Japan's economic development targets (economic policy), and is not related as an effort to improve the position of women in social and work environments (gender mainstreaming).

“…Disappointingly, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an imbalance in the research evidence concerning the involvement of the mothers of LDHH as compared to involvement of the fathers. While studies by DesJardin and Eisenberg (2007), and Lara and Saracostti (2019) have elaborated on the contributions, involvement, and roles of mothers in the education of LDHH, the little research data available reveals less commitment and involvement of fathers in their children's education (Ricci & Hodapp, 2003;Rush, 2015). Studies during the last decade have reported an increase in the amount of time that fathers spend with their children (Crespi & Ruspini, 2015;Flouri, 2005;Pleck & Masciadrelli, 2004;Rice, 2017), but a recent study by Hernawati and Herawati (2020) notes that fathers' involvement in the education of their children is not rated very highly by mothers.…”

Prior to the emergence of the coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19), studies revealed lower involvement of fathers in the education of learners who are Deaf and Hard of hearing (LDHH). Although research evidence reveals that work structure and other commitments may be responsible for fathers’ limited involvement in the education of their children, there is limited research evidence in existence on the involvement of fathers of LDHH in remote education during the COVID-19 lockdowns. This study therefore explored fathers’ involvement in the remote education of their LDHH, based on the mothers’ perceptions. Hinged on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, two research questions were raised and answered in the study. Eight mothers of LDHH from KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa participated in this qualitative study. Data was gathered via a semi-structured telephonic interview, and the collected data was analysed thematically. The findings revealed that: (i) the involvement of fathers in the remote education of LDHH saw a fair increase during the lockdowns when compared to the pre-COVID-19 era; (ii) father-child communication competencies (especially in terms of sign language), the fathers’ ability to provide the technical devices needed for remote education, and their ability to intervene promptly during technical difficulties were factors that influenced the perceptions of the fathers’ involvement in the remote education of LDHH during the lockdowns. Based on the findings, appropriate recommendations were made for policy and practice.

“…Some of these issues may be strongly intertwined with law and policy. Policy has a strong influence on how families and society organize work and family in daily practice (Gregory & Milner, 2008; Rush, 2015). For example, through policy on, and length of, paternity leave.…”

Behavioral parent training (BPT) is a theory-driven, evidence-based, and widely used intervention strategy for preventing and decreasing children's disruptive behavior problems, indirectly via improved parenting behavior. However, not all families benefit equally from BPT. To date, our knowledge of who benefits (and who does not) and our understanding of why some families benefit more than others is limited. An important challenge for research and practice is finding ways to tailor interventions to the needs of an individual family and increase their effectiveness. We put forward family systems theory as a tool to
