      ab: A study was conducted to examine how the temporal structure of employment schedules affects paternal responsibility for child care. Data were drawn from 1,452 families from the National Child Care Survey 1990. The results reveal that multiple dimensions of the mother's employment schedule exert pressures on the probability of a father taking care of his youngest child when the mother is not available. However, only one aspect of the father's employment schedule—time of day—influences his capacity to respond to child care demands. Although the nature of the relationship between employment schedules and fathers' child care usually depends on how old the child is, fathers are consistently most likely to take responsibility for their youngest child when they work different hours to their wives.
