With changes in family structures and social attitudes in Taiwanese society, parenting responsibilities are becoming less gender-bound and the roles of parents (particularly those of fathers) in the everyday lives of their children are being redefined. This chapter provides a review of historical perspectives, government and social policies, research studies, and progressive portrayals in the cultural media as related to Taiwanese father involvement. While media forms depicting fathers in non-stereotypical parenting roles may not reflect the current majority of Taiwanese households, the progressive portrayals of paternal involvement may instill change among future generations of parents.
