Purpose

The purpose of the study is to research the current state of fathers' involvement in childcare during parental leave and to assess attitudes of Russian population towards possible measures that can expand the use of parental leave by fathers in Russia.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors conducted a survey of Russian parents with children under the age of 18 months in 2022. The sample accounts for 1,000 people; the survey covered almost all Russian regions.

Findings

The authors found that the ideal workload of fathers is not expected to exceed a third of the total parental workload. Russian parents are not ready to admit dissatisfaction with the existing distribution of workload during parental leave. However, an egalitarian demand for greater involvement of fathers in parental responsibilities is forming, and an interest in transforming the parental leave policy is emerging.

Originality/value

The value of the study consists of assessing the effectiveness of measures that may have a beneficial effect on the use of parental leave by fathers, as well as identifying consequences of the possible introduction of mandatory parental leave for fathers.

俄罗斯父亲的育儿假权利：是否有必要改变现有制度？

目的

该研究的目的是研究父亲在育儿假期间参与育儿的现状，并评估俄罗斯民众对扩大俄罗斯父亲使用育儿假的可能措施的态度。

设计/方法论/途径

作者对2022年有18个月以下孩子的俄罗斯父母进行了调查。样本人数为1000人；调查覆盖了俄罗斯几乎所有地区。

发现

作者发现，父亲的理想工作量预计不会超过父母总工作量的三分之一。俄罗斯父母还没有准备好承认对育儿假期间现有工作量分配的不满。然而，要求父亲更多地参与育儿责任的平等主义要求正在形成，并且对改革育儿假政策的兴趣也正在出现。

原创性/价值

该研究的价值在于评估可能对父亲使用育儿假产生有益影响的措施的有效性，以及确定可能对父亲实行强制育儿假的后果。
