Following the theoretically based policy considerations discussed in the previous chapter, this chapter analyses the duration of leave and the distribution of unpaid work within households. It examines the effective leave of fathers in more detail, based on the survey data presented in Section 8.2. By focusing specifically on the duration of leave, this chapter seeks to address the second sub-research question, which is: Does a correlation exist between the length of parental leave taken by fathers upon the birth of their first child and the egalitarianism of the long-term distribution of caregiving responsibilities among parents? (introduced in Subsection 1.2.2). The chapter is divided into three sections. It begins with a descriptive perspective on the caregap and the duration of parental leave of fathers, which are the dependent and independent variables of the regression analyses that follow in the next section. Section 10.2 presents the results of these regression models, including group-specific models as robustness checks.These models are then discussed in Section 10.3.
