Abstract: | This paper deals with the relationship btw. fatherhood and leisure in the context of dual-earner families in the U.K. First, a gender constructivist theoretical framework is described. Then, it is applied to data gathered from interviews with 14 dual-employed couples with dependent children. Leisure is revealed as a key component of men's role as fathers, sitting alongside the much-discussed notion of breadwinning. |
