Caring is Sharing?: Couples navigating parental leave at the transition to parenthood - Paperback

by Katherine Twamley (Author)

Caring is Sharing? explores how mixed-sex couples make decisions around parental leave and how these decisions shape their work and family care practices. Drawing on a longitudinal study of couples in England, it shows that practices of couple intimacy influence the processes through which they enact divisions of parental leave and care.
