  • Why (not to) ignore the role of fathers? [Elektronski vir] : Insights from the European context
    Stefancic, Mitja
    Introduction: In most European countries, the social structure has changed substantially during the last decades. In several countries, however, the role of fathers has not changed accordingly. The ... lack of appropriate solutions for fathers in several European contexts and the objective difficulties to recognize the role of fathers at an institutional level is in the end penalising both their children and those mothers that are looking for better opportunities and more visibility in the contemporary job market. Such an issue is persistent in Italy, particularly when parents separate or ask formally for child custody. Methods: The aim of this contribution is to shed light on the need for enhancing an appropriate recognition of the essential role of fathers' involvement in the life and education of children. To achieve this, the author provides a literature review of the studies on this topic; on the other hand, some relevant case studies are discussed. Discussion and conclusions: This contribution finds that equal opportunities for fathers are still difficult to achieve in practice in countries such as Italy. We are experiencing a paradoxical situation: policies for a better recognition of women in different aspects of social life including work are not matched by appropriate solutions for a better involvement of fathers in family life. Should the lack of such solutions persist in the coming years, children would continue to be in a position of disadvantage. This should be prevented.
