Caring Fathers and Gender (In)Equality?

The aim of the paper is to determine whether there is genuinely an erosion of gender inequalities in those families where fatherscontribute to child nurture in the early phases of a child´s life, or whether the status quo is merely modified. It examines whengender equality is (or can be) achieved in families and what the relationship is between gender equality in the family and genderinequality in society.
