Publisher's Synopsis
This work is dedicated to the role of work organisations when it comes to the realisation of an active fatherhood. Firstly, it deals with barriers for active fatherhood and its correlating mechanisms of inequality: Which aspects of discrimination and social closure do fathers face today if they assert a claim for active fatherhood, and with what kind of barriers are they confronted? Secondly, capabilities of fathers are addressed: Which is their possible scope of action, and which factors lead to differences in capabilities at the workplace? Finally, the book analyses the meaning of organisational rationalities, and the effects of policies and programs on change and organisational learning with respect to fatherhood.
