Continuities, changes, and critical moments: A longitudinal analysis of sharing parental responsibilities in Finland
Growing inequality and diverging paths in early childhood education and care: Educational disparities in Europe
Early childhood education and care (ECEC) is among the most important services for children and their parents as it promotes children’s development and enables mothers’ employment. Previous research has shown that there is an educational gradient as children of mothers with a low education level participate less in ECEC services, but less is known about the development of this inequality. This study, using EU-SILC survey data, focuses on the deve…
The puzzles of daily life: The temporal orders of families when parents have non‐standard work schedules
This article investigates the temporal orders of families as the daily rhythms and schedules when one or both parents work non‐standard hours. Our focus is especially on the often asynchronous times of non‐standard work, on one hand, and of early childhood education and care (ECEC) services and other institutions, on the other hand. The data consist of semi‐structured qualitative interviews of Finnish parents with a four‐year‐old child. The resul…
Negotiating parenting practices: The arguments and justifications of Finnish couples
This article explores Finnish different-sex couples’ ( n = 12) negotiations on their parental division of labour. Theoretically, the article is based on the literature on gendered parenting practices and relational negotiations. Our discourse analysis reveals how the couples produced ‘togetherness’ and ‘our family’ by representing their care practices as agreements, irrespective of whether the care was described as equally shared or distinctly ge…
Quite an encumbrance? Work-related obstacles to Finnish fathers' take-up of parental leave
An ideal of involved fatherhood has become popular in the developed countries, but even countries like Finland that have introduced an individual father's quota to parental leave are far from gender equality in parents' leave practices. Lack of support and negative attitudes at workplaces or pressure at work are among the obstacles to fathers' leave take-up. The study used survey data from fathers and interviews at workplaces to explore the role …
Negotiating care and career within institutional constraints - work insecurity and gendered ideals of parenthood in Finland
Parenthood still bears gendered consequences for the lives of women and men. Individualisation theories explain the different employment and care patterns as resulting from free choices concerning individual lifestyle preferences, while institutional approaches underline the significance of structural or cultural context in creating constraints or possibilities in individuals' lives. In this article, mothers' and fathers' choices concerning care …
