Gyermekükkel otthon maradó apák: a családi dinamika és a szülő-gyermek kapcsolat alakulása
Family dynamics and parent-child relationships in families of stay-at-home fathers

Summary/Abstract: In recent decades, more and more families are sharing the breadwinning role, and more and more fathers are becoming actively involved in the life of the family and their children, and in the caring role at home. A rare form of paternal involvement is when the father stays at home with the young child and becomes the primary caregiver while the mother returns to the labour market. Based on the international literature, fathers’ stay-at-home arrangements have several macro- and micro-social effects. In our study on Family dynamics and parent-child relationships in stay-at-home fathers’ families, we present our findings on family dynamics and the relationship between family members. Our analysis is based on in-depth interviews with 31 stay-at-home fathers and a short questionnaire completed by the mothers.
