“…The effectiveness of these measures hinges upon their duration and financial provisions. It emerges that optimal financial compensation, coupled with non-transferability (Aunkofer, Meuser, & Neuman, 2018;Bartova & Keizer, 2020;Brandth & Kvande, 2009;Bünning, 2015;Duvander, Haas, & Thalberg, 2017;Escobedo, Flaquer, & Navarro-Varas, 2012;Haas & Hwang, 2019), alongside the "take it or lose it" principle (Possinger, 2017;Porter, 2015), constitute formidable levers that amplify men's utilization of these measures.…”

Work-family measures exhibit considerable variation across nations, often intended to foster gender equality. However, a notable research gap emerges, as there is greater emphasis placed on women's access to work-family balance initiatives, while the situation of men and fathers remains relatively understudied. Given Quebec's implementation of paternity leave in 2006, our focus shifts toward comprehending measures geared towards aiding fathers in achieving work-family balance. Through an extensive survey involving 1000 fathers, our research question aims to uncover the obstacles hindering fathers' participation in work-family reconciliation initiatives. Furthermore, it seeks to pinpoint effective strategies and mechanisms for enhancing work-family reconciliation for fathers. Our findings reveal that alleviating or eradicating the adverse effects on fathers' careers, coupled with improved dissemination of information concerning available work-family measures, would significantly help fathers in fulfilling their family responsibilities. This research thus offers insights into vital pathways to both diminish challenges and increase prospects for fathers in their pursuit of work-family balance.

This chapter aims at contributing to a better understanding of the challenges and tensions that French working fathers experience at work in trying to achieve work-life balance. Drawing on a sample of 20 fathers, aged 27–51, working in different work organizations, in-depth interviews were conducted to investigate how these fathers navigate tensions between the simultaneous pressure for having a successful career and for embodying an involved fatherhood. The findings show that the fathers’ perceptions and expectations towards work-life balance are different from women, fathers often associating their needs for work-life balance with occasional and informal flexibility and not always viewing the organization as a source of solutions. Heterogeneously influenced by their cultural ideals of work and fatherhood, they expect now more proactivity, recognition and support on the part of their organization and supervisor to fully carry out their fatherhood. A typology of three profiles with different ways of combining fatherhood and work is derived: the ‘breadwinner’ father, the ‘caring father’ and the ‘want to have it all’ father. These categories are further developed highlighting the practices and strategies French fathers mobilize to solve their work-life equation.
