Designing Parental Leave Policy
The Norway Model and the Changing Face of Fatherhood
By Berit Brandth and Elin Kvande
This compelling book examines parental leave policies in Nordic countries, looking at how these laws encourage men towards life courses with greater care responsibilities. It considers the impact that these policies have had on gender equality and how they have led to a re-gendering of men by promoting ‘caring masculinities’.
