- Summary:
- This book is dedicated to the role of work organizations when it comes to the realization of an active fatherhood.

Secondly, capabilities of fathers are addressed: Which is their possible scope of action, who are relevant actors, what is the effect of policies and programs on change and organizational learning with respect to fatherhood?
