abstract: 'Introduction This study analyses the division of parental leave and the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income development in gay father families through surrogacy in Sweden,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
seen as one of the most family-friendly and egalitarian countries in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
world. Methods Based on longitudinal population register data,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
descriptive and bivariate regression models are estimated to analyse the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parental leave uptake and income development of married partners
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
becoming (first-time) parents in 2006-2015 (in total 53 couples).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Retrospective in-depth interviews with 23 gay men in 12 couples,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conducted in 2010 and 2018 are analysed thematically to study how
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fathers discussed and decided how to divide the leave. Results The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
process of establishing legal parenthood delays the fathers'' access to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reimbursed parental leave. Despite this, the fathers'' earnings were not
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
considerably affected by the addition of a child to the family. Once the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fathers had access to reimbursed leave, they generally shared this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
equally, with a tendency for the genetic father to take leave first and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for a slightly longer period. Conclusions The fathers becoming parents
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
via surrogacy arrangements are a well-off group, able to counter the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
negative financial consequences of becoming parents. Swedish family
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies enable parents to share the leave equally. Less impacted by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender and parenthood norms creating difference between parents, gay
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
father families are in a better position to realise ideals of shared
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
care and sameness. Policy Implications The delayed access to reimbursed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parental leave structures the ability of gay couples to become parents
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and contributes to class inequalities in the transition to parenthood.'
