abstract: 'This article examines how much fathers participate in child care, an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
important component of domestic duties, and factors related to it. It
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
has the advantage of longitudinal data, so that it is possible to look
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
at changes in fathers'' participation and factors affecting changes and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
continuities over time. The data come from the 1987-1988 and 1992-1993
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
National Surveys of Families and Households. The sample is restricted to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
White, two-parent families with at least one child younger than 5 years
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of age at the time of the first survey. The analyses control for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
number of children and the gender of the child for whom there is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fathering information. Based on prior theories and research, the study
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
variables related to fathers'' child care include performance of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
household tasks, their marital quality, gender tale ideologies,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
perceptions of the fairness of the division of domestic label; and the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mothers'' childcare hours. The labor-force variables are the husbands''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and wives'' hours of paid employment, as well as the earned incomes of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
husbands and wives. The findings indicate that hours on the job keep
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
some men from active fathering, but if they begin taking care of young
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
children, a continuing pattern is established. Mothers'' child-care hours
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are positively related to fathers'' child care, and fathers do more with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sons. The discussion places the findings in theoretical context.'
