Outline of Final Research Achievements

We discussed child support and degree of cooperation of housework for mother to carry out a study for child support for father. However my study revealed that father has a desire to grow altogether with child, to care child as well as one’s father. I suggest that we need to consider father’s childcare leave and employment environment to consider a work-life balance for father.
