  ABSTRACT: Work-family measures exhibit considerable variation across nations, often intended to foster gender equality. However, a notable research gap emerges, as there is greater emphasis placed on women’s access to work-family balance initiatives, while the situation of men and fathers remains relatively understudied. Given Quebec’s implementation of paternity leave in 2006, our focus shifts toward comprehending measures geared towards aiding fathers in achieving work-family balance. Through an extensive survey involving 1000 fathers, our research question aims to uncover the obstacles hindering fathers’ participation in work-family reconciliation initiatives. Furthermore, it seeks to pinpoint effective strategies and mechanisms for enhancing work-family reconciliation for fathers. Our findings reveal that alleviating or eradicating the adverse effects on fathers’ careers, coupled with improved dissemination of information concerning available work-family measures, would significantly help fathers in fulfilling their family responsibilities. This research thus offers insights into vital pathways to both diminish challenges and increase prospects for fathers in their pursuit of work-family balance.
