  abstract  = {This study examines how public policies affect parents' preferences for a more egalitarian division of paid and unpaid work. Based on the assumption that individuals develop their preferences within a specific policy context, we examine how changes in three policies affect mothers' and fathers' work-family preferences: the availability of high-quality, affordable childcare; the right to return to a full-time job after having reduced hours to part-time and an increase in the number of 'partner months' in parental leave schemes. Analysing a unique probability sample of parents with young children in Germany from 2015 (N = 1756), we find that fathers would want to work slightly fewer hours if they had the right to return to a full-time position after working part-time, and mothers would want to work slightly more hours if childcare opportunities were improved. Full-time working parents, moreover, are found to prefer fewer hours independent of the policy setting, while non-employed parents would like to work at least some hours. Last but not least, our analyses show that increasing the number of partner months in the parental leave scheme considerably increases fathers' preferences for longer and mothers' preferences for shorter leave. Increasing the number of partner months in parental schemes hence has the greatest potential to increase gender equality.},

  abstract  = {Although mothers and fathers in almost all rich democracies are entitled to some form of paid parenting leave, fathers in particular do not take all the leave available to them. As employers play an important role in the implementation of parenting leave policies, this chapter investigates which workplace characteristics influence mothers' and fathers' uptake of their statutory leave entitlements. In Part 1, we estimate the size of the gap between statutory leave entitlement and leave uptake across genders and countries by combining data from the OECD and the European Labor Force Survey. In Parts 2 and 3, we review the literature on structural, cultural, and normative explanations for the gap in parenting leave uptake. We conclude the chapter with suggestions for further research, including the need for reliable data on the size of the implementation gap and research on non-European countries.},

  abstract  = {Gleichstellungspolitik als „Querschnittspolitik" ist eine der oft genannten politische Metapher unserer Zeit. Ob in der Arbeitsmarkt-, Steuer-, Familien- oder Bildungspolitik, Gleichstellung ist in allen diesen Bereichen von hoher Relevanz. Der „Querschnittscharakter" der Gleichstellungspolitik tr{\"a}gt dazu bei, dass in diesem Politikbereich viele unterschiedliche Akteure mit ebenso unterschiedlichen Handlungslogiken sowie Zielen aufeinandertreffen. Um Gleichstellungprogramme planen und dar{\"u}ber Gleichstellungspolitiken gestalten zu k{\"o}nnen, m{\"u}ssen die Handlungen dieser Akteure koordiniert werden. In dieser Arbeit wird unter Verwendung des Governance-Ansatzes der Frage nachgegangen, wie die Handlungskoordination zwischen unterschiedlichen Akteuren im System der deutschen Gleichstellungspolitik erfolgt. Analysiert und rekonstruiert werden die gleichstellungspolitischen Entwicklungen in der BRD seit den 1990er Jahren, anhand der Auswertung relevanter Regierungsdokumente und wissenschaftlicher Sekund{\"a}rliteratur. Hierarchien, Netzwerke und Verhandlungen - Auspr{\"a}gungen der Governance-Formen - stehen bei der Rekonstruktion und Analyse der Akteurskonstellationen im Mittelpunkt. Im Ergebnis konnten im Falle Deutschlands zwei verschiedene „Gleichstellungsgovernance-Regime" identifiziert werden. Diese sind gekennzeichnet durch die in den Regimen je dominierenden Handlugskoordinationsmechanismen der „wirtschaftlichen-Selbstkoordination" (2001) und der „wechselseitigen-Beobachtung" (2003-2012). Der Vergleich dieser beiden Regime zeigt, dass sie sich vor allem in Hinblick auf ihre Akteurskonstellationen unterscheiden. In ihnen herrschen je eigene Handlungslogiken und als Folge daraus unterschiedliche gleichstellungspolitische Ergebnisse.},
