Abstract

The roles of both fathers and mothers are essential in parenting; however, in the context of divorce, fathers’ involvement is often diminished due to various relational and structural challenges. Co-parenting has emerged as a viable approach for maintaining parental engagement post-divorce, and recent developments highlight the growing relevance of digital technology in this context. This study aims to explore how digital media facilitates fathers’ involvement in co-parenting after separation. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with the PRISMA framework, a total of 15 empirical studies published between 2015 and 2025 were selected from Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases. The articles were analyzed narratively to identify key patterns, challenges, and innovations. Findings indicate that digital tools such as messaging apps, co-parenting platforms, and video calls enable fathers to sustain emotional connection, coordinate parenting duties, and reduce in-person conflict. However, their effectiveness varies depending on digital literacy, the quality of post-divorce relationships, and sociocultural or legal contexts. In many cases, without appropriate support or clear digital boundaries, fathers may remain passive or disengaged despite access to these tools. This review highlights the need for father-inclusive digital co-parenting frameworks and encourages future research to consider contextual and systemic factors in promoting meaningful paternal involvement.

Abstract

This study explores how single men in Indonesia make sense of romantic relationships amid competing expectations of intimacy and culturally embedded gender norms. Prior scholarship on singleness and relationship experiences has predominantly centred women’s perspectives, leaving men’s meanings and negotiations of romantic involvement less examined in depth. Using a qualitative design, we conducted a focus group discussion with five single men in Jakarta and analysed the data through reflexive thematic analysis. The findings indicate that participants generally endorsed relational ideals characterised by reciprocity, mutual support, and egalitarian partnership. However, these ideals were frequently complicated by the persistent influence of traditional gender-role expectations within their social environment, creating tensions between what participants regarded as desirable relationship practices and what they anticipated as normative—particularly in the transition from dating to marriage. Overall, the study highlights how patriarchal cultural scripts remain salient in shaping men’s expectations, role imaginaries, and relational negotiations. These insights suggest the value of relationship education and gender-awareness initiatives that address not only individual skills (e.g., communication and emotional openness) but also broader normative pressures that structure intimate life.
