  The question of reconciliation of work and family is getting highlighted in social studies. For a
  long time, a lot of studies concentrated on young mothers; however, researchers have realized
  that this problem proves difficult to men as well. As Bencsik-Juhász write: ” As the actual labor
  market primarily employs and caters for men, with all the inherent ad-vantages (like higher wages for the same job) and disadvantages (like longer working hours), it is no wonder that
  the stronger labor-market presence and activity of women also changes the traditional family
  roles”(Bencsik – Juhász 2012: 616). The public opinion has been starting to expect double sets of
  obligations from the fathers, the traditional family supporter role is still strong, while men are
  also expected today to take part in child-rearing. The question is whether these processes effect
  on men’s career.
  This study presents career perspectives of male workers with or without child. The authors
  made a quantitative survey in order to get to know this question. Based on research conducted in
  2016, it is possible to say that men with or without child are different in this question.
