Barriers to equality: why British fathers do not use parental leave (2018, background): “Evidence from other countries suggests that effective paternity and parental leave policies have the potential to increase fathers’ participation in child care (Brandth & Kvande, 2009) and foster a more gender equal division of labor (Kotsadam & Finseraas, 2011).”
What Happens after the ‘Daddy Months’? Fathers’ Involvement in Paid Work, Childcare, and Housework after Taking Parental Leave in Germany (2015, methodology): “The second design used the introduction of daddy month(s) as an instrument to establish causality (Kotsadam and Finseraas, 2011; Rege and Solli, 2013; Schober, 2014; Cools, Fiva and Kirkebøen, 2015).”
Reserving Time for Daddy: The Consequences of Fathers’ Quotas (2019, unknown): “One study did report that paternity leave leads to more equal sharing of housework, but could only detect a significant effect for the chore of laundry (Kotsadam and Finseraas, 2011).”
Causal Effects of Paternity Leave on Children and Parents (2015, unknown): “This interpretation is consistent with the survey evidence of Kotsadam and Finseraas (2011, 2013), showing long-lasting effects of the 1993 parental leave reform on the division of household work within the family.
