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.'
