| Description: |
In this topical book, expert scholars from the Nordic countries, the UK and the US demonstrate how modern fatherhood is supported in Nordic countries through family and social policies, and how these shape and influence the images, roles and practices of fathers in a diversity of family settings and variations of fatherhoods. |
| Synopsis: |
Fatherhood is in transition, as men try to balance being both active and involved fathers while meeting the demands of the workplace. This book explores these challenges in the context of cross-national policies. The contributors present the most up-to-date research on father involvement with young, preschool-age children in six countries-Finland, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. |
