The focus of the paper is on two contemporary strategies dealing with care deficit: policies of new fatherhood and the increase of paid domestic work. The paid domestic work results in partial unburdening of high and middle class women, while it also maintains social inequalities and leads to the reproduction of gender differences. Policies of new fathehood tries to bring more gender equality in the private sphere with more egalitarian concept, but they remain declarative and unsufficient.
