Abstract

[In 1993 Norway was the first country to introduce a parental leave scheme exclusively earmarked for fathers, and some of the other Nordic countries have later followed suit. In the course of the 20 years that Norway has had the father’s quota it has been extended from 4 to 14 weeks and has become a mature system. In this chapter we are concerned with the consequences these changes have for the use and understanding of parental leave for fathers by studying it from the perspective of the everyday world of fathers.]
