Juggling Jobs and Kids: The Impact of Employment Schedules on Fathers' Caring for Children.
Brayfield, April
Journal of Marriage and the Family, v57 n2 p321-32 May 1995
Examined survey data on 1,452 families to determine influences of employment schedules on paternal child care. When fathers worked different hours than their wives, fathers were consistently most likely to take care of their youngest child. Only one employment aspect--time of day--affected fathers' capacity to respond to child care. (RJM)
