Paths to Co-Responsibility: Men in Child Care in Uruguay

Abstract

This article seeks to know which are the representations of care of men who currently have children under 6 years in Uruguay. Starting from the idea that there is a mismatch between the (more equitable) discourses and the (still inequitable) practices on male participation in care, the discourses on care that men develop, from a gender perspective, were analyzed and co-responsibility. Three types of current paternities are identified: traditional, of slight involvement and with a tendency to coresponsibility.

Paternity; Care; Gender; Co-Responsibility
