Excellent- More about Changing Men and Masculinities: Work and Family in a Nordic Context
Scandinavia has been a laboratory for changing gender relations, with Nordic policies and initiatives aimed at changing men's roles in the family attracting international attention. This book explores policies and practices intended to change men and gender relations, considering the ways in which certain initiatives and ideas are taken up and inform policy, while others are abandoned. It examines the influence exercised on gendered roles by the broad social contexts in which individuals are enmeshed, as well as political factors and intergenerational dynamics.

Scandinavia has long been recognized as a pioneering region in the exploration of evolving gender dynamics,with Nordic policies and initiatives aimed at reshaping men's roles in the family garnering significant global attention. Building upon a longitudinal follow-up study of two generations of men, in which the fathers participated in a groundbreaking experimental research project that aimed to promote egalitarian family relations through a spousal work-sharing arrangement, this book delves into the policies and practices designed to transform men and gender relations. By examining the ways in which certain initiatives and ideas are embraced and incorporated into policy, while others are abandoned, the author sheds light on the influence exerted on gendered roles by the broader social contexts in which individuals are embedded, as well as political factors and intergenerational dynamics. Drawing on a unique experiment, analysed in the context of changing theories, changing masculinities, changing policies, and changing welfare regimes, this book offers a multidimensional analysis of situated agency and social change at both the individual and collective levels. It will appeal to social scientists with interests in masculinity, the sociology of the family, and the gendered division of household labour.
