It presents a study of the experience and values six young couples have related to parenting and gender equality. Twelwe people, six women and six men, were interviewed about the above mentioned topics related to their new found role as parents. How did these women and men choose to assign or elaborate their role as parents in terms of household chores and parental leave?

What were the decisive factors, if any, that determined their parenting roles?
Although this study is relatively limited, the results are compatible... (More) - The following study was undertaken in the spring of 2005 in Helsingborg, Sweden.

Twelwe people, six women and six men, were interviewed about the above mentioned topics related to their new found role as parents. How did these women and men choose to assign or elaborate their role as parents in terms of household chores and parental leave? Did they consider their parenthood to be equal or did they feel that their role as parents had already been assigned based on their gender? What were the decisive factors, if any, that determined their parenting roles?
Although this study is relatively limited, the results are compatible with other published studies and indicate that young parents of today, without consideration to their gender, have a traditional view on parenting. The study also indicates that the attitudes seem to be established by traditional values, norms as well as sexualgender. Probably the most important factor to determine the equality and values of parenting is the traditional view of parenting. The results show that the respondents thought that their role as parents had more or less been predetermined, however they did considered themselves as equal in their parenting. (Less)
