Over the last ten years, equal opportunities policy has tended to actively further men's use of parental leave to favour gender equality. This article draws from the European 2005 Working Conditions Survey, and more specifically the subsample of fathers with children under the age of three to analyse whether paternity leave is related to their greater involvement in childcare and housework. Zero-inflated Poisson regression analysis, controlling for working conditions, family circumstances, level of schooling, women's empowerment in society and duration of leave, revealed a direct relationship between paternity leave taking in the year prior to the survey and their involvement in daily childcare and housework. Such use of parental leave appears, then, to be an effective mechanism for promoting greater gender equality in the domestic domain
