Flexible work arrangements significantly impact childcare divisions among dual-earner parents,
yet few studies address their impact on fathers as primary caregivers. This article explores the
relationship between fathers’ ability to work flexibly and their share of childcare responsibility
across financial situations.
Beginning with Aristotle, and then through much of the Enlightenment period, moral and political philosophers have regarded the relatively independent male as normative, with the female as secondary, dependent, and therefore, subordinate in value to the male.

¿Pueden las madres prescindir de los hombres en la crianza de sus hijos? ¿Qué futuro les espera a las nuevas generaciones de huérfanos de padres vivos?

What are the intergenerational resource transfer contributions of parents and non-parents in Europe? Using National Transfer Accounts and National Time Transfer Accounts for 12 countries around 2010, we go beyond public transfers (net taxes) to also value two statistically much less visible transfers in the family realm: of market goods and of unpaid household labour (time). Non-parents contribute almost exclusively to public transfers. But parents additionally provide still larger private transfers: mothers mainly time, fathers mainly market goods.
