abstract: 'The article asks whether daycare can alleviate work-family tensions in
the dual-earner society or if perceptions of `care gaps'' will hamper
women''s careers. Using survey data from Swedish parents with pre-school
children (n approximate to 2250) and qualitative interviews of survey
respondents (n = 40), we explore how children''s daycare hours and
parents'' reflections on daycare hours are related to mothers'' and
fathers'' involvement in paid and unpaid work and to their perceptions of
stress. The results show that parents have a strong ambition to limit
daycare hours. This ambition provides a stressful dilemma for mothers
but for fathers, daycare is not a source of stress. Maternal part-time
work is an important tool for managing daycare hours, but collides with
ideals of gender equality. Full-time work can be combined with short
daycare hours, provided that the parents take shifts in the home and
share care responsibilities. Sharing of care work also reduces mothers''
stress. However, such arrangements require flexible schedules which are
more available to parents in high-skill jobs. Single parents have little
opportunity to keep daycare hours short.'
