了解有利于母亲就业和父亲参与育儿和家务的条件，对于在有酬和无酬工作中实现两性平等十分重要。利用森的能力框架，本文探讨了父亲参与育儿对母亲在产后9个月和3年恢复就业的影响。Logistic回归被用于英国的千年队列研究。结果表明，如果父亲在出生后9个月更多地参与育儿，母亲恢复就业的可能性在两个时间点都会增加-在某些情况下，这对她恢复就业比她的职业类别和父亲从事有偿工作的小时数更重要。然而，态度的影响甚至更大，而且似乎会驱动行为，因为如果父母中的任何一方在为人父母的第一年赞同更多的性别平等角色，那么母亲在孩子出生后三年恢复就业的可能性就会大大增加。
Understanding the conditions that facilitate mothers' employment and fathers' involvement in childcare and housework is important for achieving gender equity in paid and unpaid work. Using Sen's capabilities framework, the article explores the effect of paternal involvement in childcare on mothers' employment resumption nine months and three years' post-childbirth. Logistic regression is used on the UK's Millennium Cohort Study. Results show that the probability of mothers resuming employment increase at both time points if the father is more involved in childcare nine months post-birth - and in some cases, this is more important for her employment resumption than her occupational class and the number of hours the father spends in paid work. However, attitudes have an even stronger effect, and appear to drive behaviour, as the probability of mothers resuming employment increase significantly three years post-birth if either parent endorses more gender egalitarian roles in the first year of parenthood.
