Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper asks if the family and parental leave policies in a particular set of European countries have acted to accelerate the long-term slow-moving trend among men in these countries toward support for feminism regarding the work-family nexus. I develop and test the theory that those policies aimed at increasing men�s �non-traditional� experiences with child care and house-keeping have steered more men toward support for feminism than would be the case absent these policies. In this case, men�s support for feminism largely depends on education, ideology, occupational status and other variables comprising the more stable, slower-moving �ideological� or philosophical basis of men�s support for feminism. A conditional model centered on interaction effects has yielded modest empirical support for an acceleration effect of parental leave policies. Ideology, occupational status and age appear to explain less of men�s attitudinal support for feminism in countries with stronger incentives for men�s leave-taking. Data was drawn from two sources: Eurobarometer 65.1: The Future of Europe, Consumer Protection in Transborder Purchases, Family Planning, and Opinions and Experiences in Transborder Purchases, February-March 2006 (Papacostas 2007); and the ranking by Gornick and Meyers (2003) of the paid family leave policies of European and other developed countries as of 2000 according to level of gender equality.
