| Sumario: | This article aims to analyze men's and women's perceptions of paternity leave from an intersectional perspective. A set of questions from a national survey with 1,575 respondents, a representative sample of the Brazilian population over 18 years of age, was analyzed. The survey was conducted in 2016. Our working hypothesis is that the status of worker and parenthood can be a good predictor of more egalitarian perceptions, as well as in the experience of this labor right. We seek to answer the following questions: what are the differences in these perceptions according to: gender; color/race; occupation; position in the occupation and individual income? What is the influence of insertion in the labor market and of having or not having children on the respondents' perceptions of paternity leave? Insertion in the work force was the factor that most influenced a more progressive view of paternity leave for both genders. The predominant mediation of insertion and income from work indicates that the conditions and relationships in which work is carried out are fundamental for the production of differences in these perceptions, also through access to this labor right. |
