“…The most common activity carried out by fathers is playing with their children. The high percentage is not surprising as there have been previous studies, such as that by Brandth and Kvande (2002), that found that the activity fathers were most involved in was playing with their children. Lastly, it should be mentioned that all the tasks are shared at least equally to a larger degree by fathers who used paternity leave, with the exception of taking children to and from preschool or school.…”

Uno de los grandes objetivos de las políticas parentales dirigidasexclusivamente a varones es la igualdad de géneros. El objetivo de esteestudio es de comprobar si la utilización del permiso de paternidadfomenta la implicación y el reparto de actividades dentro de la esferareproductiva. Para ello se ha utilizado la encuesta «El uso social de lospermisos parentales 2012». Se han creado modelos analíticosmultivariantes, utilizando las técnicas de regresión lineal de mínimos y laregresión logística ordinal. La submuestra empleada en el análisis secompone de 600 progenitores varones con al menos un hijo o hijadesde el año 2007. Los resultados apuntan a que la utilización delpermiso de paternidad favorece la implicación por parte de losprogenitores varones en el tiempo dedicado al cuidado de los hijos,pero este efecto es limitado ya que solo se produce en los padres quehan utilizado el permiso de paternidad para su primer hijo o hija.

“…Their efforts have received increasing policy support at both the national and European levels (Hobson 2002;Moss 2014). However, the company level, especially employers' and co-workers' attitude towards active fathers, is likely to be of particular importance for the transformation of the male gender role (Brandt and Kvande 2002;Haas and Hwang 2009;Behnke and Meuser 2012). Moreover, mothers need to accept fathers as their equals when it comes to parental care for children in order for the new male role to become established (Allen and Hawkins 1999).…”

Objective: To measure the influence, both of family life upon professional activity and of professional activity upon family life. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, exploratory study, using a questionnaire with two versions -male and female -with a sample of 92 couples with children younger than six years, living in Rio Grande City -RS. Results: We found that physical and mental fatigue related to working conditions influenced family chores, causing discouragement and irritability. Men presented major concerns regarding the limited time available to the family due to professional responsibilities. Viewed as very influential for family support, dialogue contributed to the resolution of professional problems and creation of an environment that was conducive to addressing the family challenges impacted by work. The parents felt that family life did not affect career, but reported the influence of thinking about the family at work. Conclusion: Few influences were identified that affected the balance between family life and professional activity, which, in general, contradicted other studies in the literature. Keywords: Family relations; Work; Preschool RESUMOObjetivo: Mensurar a influência, tanto da vida familiar na atividade profissional como da atividade profissional na vida familiar. Métodos: Estudo exploratório descritivo de abordagem quantitativa, que utilizou um questionário com duas versões -feminina e masculina -aplicado em amostra de 92 casais com filhos de idade até seis anos, residentes na cidade do Rio Grande -RS. Resultados: Constatou-se que o cansaço físico e mental relacionado ao trabalho, influenciou nas tarefas familiares, causando desânimo e irritabilidade. Os homens apresentaram maior preocupação com o pouco tempo disponível em família em razão da profissão. Visualizou-se como muito influente o apoio familiar, tornando o diálogo contribuinte na resolução dos problemas profissionais e na criação de um ambiente propício ao enfrentamento dos desafios impostos pelo trabalho. Os pais consideraram que a vida familiar não prejudica sua atividade profissional, mas referiram influência do pensamento familiar no trabalho. Conclusão: Poucas influências foram identificadas que prejudicam a conciliação entre vida familiar e atividade profissional, o que, no geral, contrariou demais estudos encontrados na literatura. Descritores: Relações familiares; Trabalho; Pré-escolar RESUMEN Objetivo: Medir la influencia, tanto de la vida familiar en la actividad profesional como de la actividad profesional en la vida familiar. Métodos: Estudio exploratorio descriptivo de abordaje cuantitativo, que utilizó un cuestionario con dos versiones -femenina y masculina -aplicado en una muestra de 92 parejas con hijos de edad hasta seis años, residentes en ciudad de Rio Grande -RS.
