Examines work patterns of fathers in terms of working hours and use of flexible working guided by the theoretical concepts ‘father as breadwinner’ and ‘father as carer’. Presents a secondary analysis of two nationally representative employment datasets: the third work-life balance employee survey (see URN 09/714) and the maternity and paternity rights and benefits survey of parents (06/836). Findings reveal that fathers seem to work longer hours compared with non-fathers, supporting the theoretical 'breadwinner' model. There was also support for an increasing caring role that fathers may be adopting supported by an increase in the number of fathers working flexibly.
