  • Support or suppress

    Open AccessSimon N Chapman, Sanni Kotimäki et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Policy2026References: 52

    The Finnish parental leave system has undergone numerous reforms to encourage fathers’ leave uptake, in part to redress unequal divisions of early childcare, yet many fathers have not taken full advantage of it.
