Identità maschile, paternità e lavoro

Translated title of the contribution: [Autom. eng. transl.] Male identity, fatherhood and work

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter presents a reflection on the father's identity in contemporary society: the identity transformation process undergone by both men and women, and structural changes in the family and the labour market demand a consideration of the role of "new fathers", as well as practices related to fatherhood. Through the analysis of international literature on male identity, policies supporting fathers and changes in the parental role, the transformation affecting paternity will be explored in order to understand how fathers are redesigning their identity as parents, partners and workers by actively combining their different life contexts.
