New book from Policy Press: Fatherhood in the Nordic Welfare states - Comparing care policies and practice

Edited by Guðný Björk Eydal and Tine Rostgaard

In this topical book, expert scholars from the Nordic countries, the UK and the US demonstrate how modern fatherhood is supported in Nordic countries through family and social policies, and how these shape and influence the images, roles and practices of fathers in a diversity of family settings and variations of fatherhoods.

“This comprehensive volume provides rich and theoretically grounded empirical analyses of Nordic policies and practices.” Professor Ann Orloff, Northwestern University, US

“A fascinating, wide-ranging and critical look at fatherhood in the Nordic world, covering home, work and social policy, addressing growing diversity in these countries and celebrating a vibrant research scene.” Emeritus Professor Peter Moss, Institute of Education University of London.
