The portrait of the unemplo y ed father in Finnish Women's Magazines . Author Information:

by Mar ja Leena B ook , Leena Penttinen

Abstra ct: UNEMPLOYMENT AND FATHERHOODThis st ud y began at a time when unemplo y ment had alread y be come a sizeable politi cal problem in Finnish so ciet y.New statisti cs were constantl y appearing as e viden ce of rising n umbers of unemplo y ed people . The aim of this paper is to examine the dis cursi ve constr uction of the unemplo y ed father . The st ud y is a part of a larger resear ch pro je ct con cerned with unemplo y ment and parenthood . The fo cus is on the portrait of the unemplo y ed father in Women's magazines . Fatherhood toda y has been fo und to be rather conf using for men . The role of a father is both in a state of fl ux as well as retaining traditional feat ures . Seel (1987) distinguishes two kinds of father roles . First there is the traditional father whose role is that of the breadwinner , an ultimate a uthorit y who sees no need to e x press con cern abo ut pra cti cal child care . Pro viding for the famil y is the traditional father's ke y parental responsibilit y ; Ka ul (1991) has called this e conomi c parenting, According to the traditional model it is the father whotransmits the real model of citizenship to his children , and it is the father in parti cular who transmits the 'proper 'model of a man to his sons (B igner , 1979). Another role of the father is that of the a cti ve father (Seel , 1987) whi ch Russell (1983) has called a shared-caregi ving father . He takes responsibilit y for child care and gi ves home life a higher . priorit y than his work. In his famil y the ho usehold tasks are equall y shared . This famil y -in vol ved t y pe of father has also been called the new father (Lamb, 1986:7). B ronstein (1988) re views man y st udies whi ch indi cate that fathers toda y are also in vol ved in this new kind of fatherhood . Howe ver , these two different roles are contradi ctor y in e ver y da y life , and espe ciall y when life-changes , s uch as the unemplo y ment of the father , o ccur .

Jones (1991) argues that a sit uation in whi ch the father is o ut of work is more problemati c for the famil y than the unemplo y ment of the mother , be ca use the mental health stat us of a man is more affe cted by job loss than that of a woman . Jones lists the impa cts of the father 's unemplo y ment . First , the job loss probabl y reinfor ces rather than changes the relationships and sit uation in the famil y that alread y e x isted .

because of changes in the character of these men, they may also lose authority and respect in the eyes of their children (Madge, 1983).In their study of househusband fathers, Lutwin and Siperstein (1985:279-281) found three major task areas whichconfront the traditional father in his role as a househusband. These areas are 1) domestic tasks, 2) personal tasks,and 3) environmental tasks. These areas display different kinds of common beliefs and traditional myths concerningthe father's role. In domestic tasks the traditional myth persists that the female has innate abilities with reference tosuch tasks. In the area of personal tasks the father can face up to problems because of the traditional myth that aman's role is to provide by wor king, not by nurturing. The third area, that of environmental tasks, deals with the

problems of a father isolated from his wor kmates. At the same time, he experiences loneliness and boredom incarr ying out the same daily routine at home. Accordingly, the father feels that the community at lar ge may notaccept the new role of the father. Russell (1987) suggests that one of the most obvious of the possible difficulties afather might experience is feeling threatened in his identity and status as a male. Interest in fatherhood hasincreased during the past centur y. While evidently social scientists are interested in fatherhood, including culturaldefinitions and behaviour, it is not obvious that the lay public shares the same interest. Much of the generalknowledge, opinions, and attitudes that people have in ever yday life are not known from personal experience butfrom the media, e.g., from newspapers, magazines, and television. This is also the case with the unemployedfather. Articles in newspapers as well as television present examples of both traditional and new father roles(Bronstein, 1988:3-4). In their analysis of popular ...

Father involvement in child care and household wor k in common-law dual-earner and single-earner Jamaican families

AbstractThis paper uses retrospective child care data from the NLSY79 to examine the patterns and determinants of paternal childcare during a child's first three years of life. We focus on two-parent families with children whose mothers wor ked sometimebetween the child's birth date and the child's third birthday. We find that father care is a fairly stable form of care; the averagenumber of months that father care is used during a year is similar to the duration of other forms of child care. In addition, wefind that paternal care is often used in conjunction with other types of child care. We further find that different characteristics

predict paternal child care according to the timing and extent of care. For those fathers who are the exclusive providers of child care during the first year of a child's life, the incidence of paternal child care is associated with race or ethnicity and amother's identification with nontraditional gender roles. In contrast, for those fathers who provide some of total child careduring the first three years of a child's life, the incidence of paternal child care is more highly associated with the flexibility of amother's and father's wor k schedule.

AbstractThe division of chile care and household labor and beliefs about the roles of mothers and fathers were examined

in 86 low-income dual-earner and single-earner Jamaican couples in common-law unions.Analysis revealed that

there was a markedly gender-differentiated pattern of involvement in child care and household tasks by parents

and that they held very traditional conceptions of the roles of mothers and fathers. Both mothers and fathers

were more likely to spend time playing with rather than feeding or cleaning their babies. Involvement in child

care did not differ as a function of the gender of the infant, but involvement in child care and household work

did vary by mother's employment status. Jamican men's participation in child care and household activities was

quite similar to what has been reported for men in other cultural groups. The data are discussed in terms of the

commonly accepted notion of the marginal role of Jamaican men in the family and in the context of gender

roles.

Abstract

This paper uses the NLSY-Child data to assess the effects on cognitive and social-emotional development of father care as achild care arrangement among children in two-parent families with wor king mothers. Our results show that father care for infants is no better or worse than other types of arrangements. However, toddlers in non-paternal modes of child care (e.g.,relatives, family day care or center care) have slightly better cognitive outcomes than those whose fathers provided care.

Although our analyses do not provide a definitive explanation for this finding, there is a substantial influx of fathers in our datawho provide child care in years 2 and 3 and these fathers appear compositionally different from fathers who provided careduring a child's infancy. In particular, there is some indication that these fathers who are newly providing care during a child'stoddler years may be temporar y care providers due to changing economic circumstances. The research was supported by NICHD grant #HD30944. Responsible editor: Deborah Cobb-Clar k.

Paternal involvement in childcare and unintentional injury of young children: a

population-based cohort study in Japan

Author Information: Takeo Fujiwara1,*, Makiko Okuyama2 and Kunihiko Takahashi3 1 Department of Health Promotion, National Institute of Public Health, Wako-shi, Saitama, Japan.2 Department of Psychosocial Medicine, National Center for Child Health and Development, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan.3 Department of Technology Assessment and Biostatistics, National Institute of Public Health, Wako-shi, Saitama, Japan.

Abstract: Background Unintentional injur y is the leading cause of death in young children. A previous study reported the protective effectof maternal parenting on young childhood injur y; however, few studies have shown an association between paternalinvolvement in childcare and young childhood injur y. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of paternalinvolvement in childcare to reduce the likelihood of childhood injur y.

Methods A population-based birth cohort study in Japan (2001 ±02), the µLongitudinal Survey of Babies Born in 21st Centur y¶,

was used (n = 42 144). The impact of paternal involvement in childcare of 6-month-old infants (feeding, diaper change,bathing, putting the child to sleep, playing, taking a walk) on the incidence of young childhood injur y (fall, near -drowning,accidental ingestion or burn) until 18 months of age was analysed by multiple logistic regression.

Results Infants who received a high degree of paternal involvement in childcare at 6 months were less likely to suffer from all

unintentional injuries at 18 months than those who received a low degree of paternal involvement in childcare (adjusted odds

ratio 0.91, 95% confidence interval 0.85±0.98). Taking the child for a walk by the father strongly prevented all unintentional injuries, and there were dose±effect relationships (Ptrend

< 0.001).

Conclusions Paternal involvement in childcare at 6 months of age prevented childhood injur y at 18 months of age. Paternal

involvement in childcare might be a useful indicator for predicting childhood injur y.

Abstarct: Interviews with forty 10- and 11-year-old children (24 boys

and 16 girls) investigated the effects of parents'

division of child care responsibilities on children's self-esteem, their

relationships with parents, and their

gendered ideas and preferences. Children whose fathers participated relatively more in the emotional

side of

parenting (e.g., comforting) showed greater preferences for "feminine" activities and had higher self-esteem

than children whose fathers were less involved. Children whose fathers performed a higher proportion of the"work" of parenting (e.g., transporting,

planning activities, and arranging child care) endorsed a more gender-

free model of family life. The absolute amount of time fathers spent with children had no independent

significant effects. Egalitarian parenting clearly benefits children when fathers share "maternal" tasks, but even

when fathers do not fully participate in those "maternal" aspects of parenting, dividing the time 50-50 may

benefit mothers without hurting children.
