Abstract
Involvement of Men in Childcare: National Policy Efforts of Croatia, India, and Mexico
Highlights
Since ratification of the International Conference of Population and Development (ICPD) Programme of Action, the importance of promoting men’s participation in childcare has been recognized globally as an important approach for achieving gender equality in all spheres of life
Results suggest that in Croatia, India, and Mexico, policy efforts significantly focused on three axes: child wellbeing, workfamily conflict, and gender equality
While paternal involvement was referenced in the majority of policy documents (27 of 33), over half of the policy documents from Croatia (9 of 11 policies) had the potential to affect men’s involvement in childcare
