Fathers and Parental Leave: Attitudes and Experiences.

Hyde, Janet Shibley; And Others

Journal of Family Issues, v14 n4 p616-38 Dec 1993

Examined parental leave-taking behaviors and attitudes of 550 men whose wives/partners were pregnant. Fathers' mean length of leave time was five days; 91% of fathers took some leave. Employer's policy regarding length of leave was significant predictor of length of leave taken. Fathers holding egalitarian sex role attitudes and high in family salience took longest leaves.
