    Este artículo analiza los factores que inciden en la implicación paterna en el cuidado de los hijos. La importancia analítica del cuidado de los menores radica tanto en su elevada exigencia temporal como en su papel en la distribución de roles de género en el seno de las parejas. El cuidado físico es aquel en el que con más intensidad se materializan las diferencias de género. Las dos ediciones de la Encuesta de Empleo del Tiempo (EET) española (2002-03 y 2009-10) nos sirven para analizar la relación existente entre el aumento del tiempo dedicado por los padres al cuidado físico y el crecimiento del desempleo masculino durante la crisis económica. Los resultados evidencian la importancia de la desocupación en la mayor implicación paterna. No obstante, estos resultados obligan a la cautela sobre la consistencia de este mayor compromiso una vez se ha iniciado la recuperación progresiva de la ocupación masculina.

    The purpose of this article is to analyse underlying factors of father involvement in the care of children.

    The importance of analysing childcare lies both in its high time requirement and in its relevance for the distribution of gender roles within couples. Physical care is where more intensely gender differences appear. The two waves of the Spanish Time Use Survey (2002-03 and 2009-10) serve to analyse the relationship between an increased time spent by fathers doing physical care and the growth of male unemployment during the economic crisis.

    The results show the relevance of unemployment in greater father involvement in physical childcare.

    Nevertheless, we should be wary of the sustainability through time of this greater commitment to physical childcare when male occupation starts to recover.
