Caregiving Fathers in the Workplace book
Caregiving Fathers in the Workplace – Organisational Experiences and the Fatherhood Forfeit, draws upon years of research by
Dr Jasmine Kelland
, exploring the experiences and perceptions of caregiving fathers in the UK.
Dr Kelland says:
“Fathers undertake a more active role in the ‘hands on’ parenting than in previous generations while mothers are increasing their contribution to the labour market. But our working arrangements remain ‘gendered’ to a significant extent.”
