Fathers, care and family policy in France: an unfinished revolution?

“

This article fits with earlier work carried out by Abigail Gregory and myself where we argued that fatherhood regimes - composed of rights and responsibilities of fathers - were shifting in both France and the UK, but that this change also met with obstacles. In the French case, as we show in this article, there has been a lively debate about how to support fathers at work and at home, but very little real change in substantive rights which would start to shift perceptions about the gendered nature of care. Hence the idea of an unfinished revolution.
