| Publisher Description: Nordic countries lead the way in facilitating better work-family integration through their design of parental leave policies. Based on original research, this compelling book offers a novel analysis of the everyday parental practices of fathers and parents in Norway as a way of understanding the workings of labour market and welfare policies, whilst showcasing how this style of men's care work constitutes a re-gendering of men by promoting 'caring masculinities'. |
