Fathers’ working hours
by Olivia
BIS have produced a report on the working patterns of fathers in terms of working hours and use of flexible working. Findings, in a nutshell, reveal that fathers work longer hours compared to non-fathers as fatherhood tends to coincide with the most occupationally active period in their life course. Interestingly, the study found that a majority of male full time employees, both with and without children, had used some form of flexible working option in the last twelve months. The study also produces some interesting findings such as ‘the categorisation of fathers into traditional and involved fathers is not a holistic approach to defining the father role’ ?!!
