Drawing on extensive empirical research, this book examines paternal involvement in caregiving practices and asks what is currently happening to involved fatherhood?

Navigating Contemporary Fatherhood in Europe investigates fatherhood in various everyday settings, such as outdoor spaces, workplaces, and the home, while considering the influence of policy frameworks across different European countries. By analysing fathers' experiences and the impact of policy on familial roles, it provides fresh insights into the concept of involvement and progression towards practices of more equitable fatherhood.

Encouraging new thinking on paternal engagement, this is a critical look at how fatherhood is navigated, negotiated, and understood within diverse cultural and policy contexts in everyday life.
