The book is basically based on the research methodology developed within the framework of the project "Modern Men in Enlarged Europe II: Family Friendly Policies". The qualitative and quantitative research was carried out in all project partner countries: Denmark, Iceland, Italy and Lithuania. The reseach marked an attempt to focus on men's participation in work-family reconciliation processes from their own perspective and to reveal employers' attitudes towards family-friendly work organization, concrete measures introduced at their organizations, obstacles that impede to implement family-friendly principles at work and how welfare system and work organization can be constructed in order to promote gender equal reconciliation Vytauto Didžiojo universitetas
