| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article is a review of Fathers, Families and Work, one of a series of reports published as part of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC)'s 'Working Better' programme. The article examines Fathers, Families and Work in the context of the wider conclusions and recommendations of the 'Working Better' programme and considers the extent to which these recommendations will translate into public policy. It concludes that there is a gap between parents' desire for both mothers and fathers to be involved in caring for children and the reality of long hours and inflexible workplaces that limits the time men can spend caring for children. |
