?:abstract
  • "This paper investigates fathers' usage of parental leave in Germany based on data from the microcenses 1999-2005. We consider two competing hypotheses. On the one hand, we argue that value change is a driving force behind fathers' engagement in parenting activities. We assume that the 'new father' can more often be found among highly educated and urban men who are believed to be the forerunners in terms of new values and ideas. We contrast this hypothesis with the assumption that economic factors are the main determinants of men's parental leave decisions. Our main finding is that fathers are more likely to be on parental leave if they have a highly educated or older partner. We also find that employment through a temporary working contract substantially lowers the chances that men will take advantage of parental leave, while being employed in the public sector increases the chances that men will use their parental leave entitlement. [...] The item with statements of attitudes regarding maternal employment, childcare, and housework from the ALLBUS survey 2004 is used to show a strong educational gradient for all items, and for both sexes: Highly educated respondents are more likely than others to think that working mothers can establish a loving relationship with their children, and that the child benefits if the mother works."
