Publicación If You Dare To Ask: Self-Perceived Possibilities of Spanish Fathers to Reduce Work Hours(Taylor and Francis Group, 2017-08-27) Fernández Lozano, IrinaTime scarcity is a reality for most mothers and fathers of young children who work full-time. Though the Spanish law recognises a specific right to a reduced schedule for care reasons, fathers very rarely make use of this policy. Many of them simply think that, in their current employment circumstances, they ‘can’t’ cut down on work hours. This analysis focuses on the subjective perception that employees have on their difficulty to reduce work hours. Using a nationally representative sample of Spanish employees in charge of young children, and drawing on intersectionality perspectives, we propose that several stratification systems (e.g. gender vs economic structure) overlap framing the subjective experience of how easy or difficult it is to adopt a reduced schedule. We confirm that fathers holding middle level service occupations (e.g. clerical workers) may be those who are ‘undoing gender’ at work, as they differ significantly in their perception that for them it would be difficult to reduce their work hours.Publicación Finding Time For Children. Fatherhood, Jobs and Available Time in Spain, 2003-2010(2018-09-30) Fernández Lozano, IrinaParents of young children are supposed to be interactive with, responsible for and available for their children (Lamb, Pleck and Levine 1985). This study aims at shedding light on how work schedules allows Spanish fathers to be available to take care of their children when they are not at school or childcare centres. By using time-use data, this study seeks to contribute to previous research by providing a nuanced description of how much and when work takes place throughout the day , as well as how this is associated to occupational and parental statuses, gender and the incidence of the economic recession. ‘Available time’ for the family is analysed, understood as time away from work excluding the core business hours (i.e. 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Results show that being a mother has still a direct reflection on time availability, while fatherhood does not. Also, time availability presents a complex relationship with the class structure, which does not seem to have been altered by recession. Finally, there seems to be a gender convergence in time availability, only due to its reduction in the case of womenPublicación The Hidden Cost of Flexibility: A Factorial Survey Experiment on Job Promotion(Oxford University Press, 2020-04) Fernández Lozano, Irina; González, Mª José; Jurado Guerrero, Teresa; Martínez Pastor, Juan IgnacioThis article analyses the role of gender, parenthood, and work flexibility measures and the mediating role of stereotypes on the likelihood of achieving an internal promotion in Spain. We hypothesize that employers favour fathers over mothers and disfavour flexible workers (flexibility stigma) because they are perceived, respectively, as less competent and less committed. We also hypothesize that employers reflect their gender values in the selection process. These hypotheses are tested using data from a survey experiment in which 71 supervisors from private companies evaluate 426 short vignettes describing six different candidates for promotion into positions that require decision-making and team supervision skills. Several candidate characteristics are experimentally manipulated, while others such as skills and experience in the company are kept constant to minimize the risk of statistical discrimination. Contrary to our expectations, fathers are not preferred in promotion, as they are not perceived as being more competent than mothers. However, we find that flexibility leads to lower promotion scores, partly due to its association with a lack of commitment. Although the statutory right to reduce working hours for care reasons seems a major social achievement, this experiment shows that mothers may be indirectly penalized, as they are the main users of this policy.Publicación Fathers as Solo Caregivers in Spain: A Choice or a Need?(SAGE Publications, 2019-05-04) Fernández Lozano, IrinaThe increase in fathers’ involvement in childcare in western societies has not translated into an equal distribution of childcare between mothers and fathers. While some couples actually succeed in “undoing gender” when the first child arrives, their characteristics that define them are not yet clear. This article provides four different explanations that contribute to understanding how parents share routine care in Spain, using a sample of dual-earner, heterosexual parents from the Spanish Time Use Survey 2010. The results show that fathers are more likely to be “equal sharers” when they: earn less than their spouse; do not hold traditionally masculine jobs (e.g. managers or blue-collar workers); have time available and, more importantly, their spouses are not available from 5 p.m. onward. In line with previous research, this study provides evidence that dismantles the “myth” that higher status employees, and/or those with college education, are more egalitarian in practice.
