The Time Economy of Parenting.

This article presents a sociological research paper that discusses various issues related to time use and parenting in Great Britain, which have significance for developing an understanding of the gendered distribution of time between care, work and leisure in two-parent families. The article makes specific reference to the UK Time Use Survey and the international writings on long-term trends in parental childcare time. According to the findings of the study, a shorter working week is the most needed change to be brought in to encourage greater participation by fathers in childcare.
