“The Choice Was Made for Us”: Stat-at-Home Dads and Relationalities of Work and Care in Canada and the United States
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The term and concept "stay-at-home dad" (SAHD) are largely taken for granted in academic, everyday, and popular discourses. Increasing numbers of academic research projects and journal articles use the term to categorize fathers and families; journalists and bloggers often employ it as a shorthand description for fathers who leae fulltime paid work for intermittent or extended periods of time; SAHDs have been front-page news in major online and print news sites, and in television series and movies; government statistics cite growing numbers of SAHDs in many countries, including Canada and the United States (e.g., Livingston, 2013; Statistics Canada, 2012; US Census Bureau, 2013); and more and more researchers are studying SAHDs in Canada and the United States (e.g., Chesley, 2011; Harrington et al., 2012; Latshaw, 2011; Solomon. 2014), as well as in other countries (e.g., Merla, 2008; Ruspini, 2013; Stevens, 2015). Yet in spite of this growing attention, there has been sparse attention given to the conceptual meanings of the SAHD.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
