What supports engaged fathering? : Employment and family supports

7 Apr 2009

This paper examines current Canadian social policy provisions and surveys the standards of practice or "take-up" for policy provisions supporting men's fathering roles. Data from Sweden and other comparator states establish a context for an examination of Canadian policy and whether and how it might move beyond simple gender neutrality to support men in their roles as fathers.
