Predicted Trajectories of Father Engagement by Length of Paternity Leave
The slope coefficients for trajectories of caretaking (Panel B) are not statistically significant. Thus, although it appears that fathers who took no leave or 1 week of leave increase their caretaking from W2–W3, these changes are not statistically significant. Results in Table 5 show that trajectories of caretaking are flat, regardless of length of paternity leave.
