description In the last two decades Chilean society has undergone significant changes that have had an impact on roles within the family. Various studies on parenting show that men today are more involved in parenting, and exert emotional and vertical paternity; however these practic es coexist with more traditional roles influenced by age -group and socioeconomic status. The aim of this study is to analyse changes in the meaning of fatherhood for men in Temuco, a city located in the south of Chile, comparing different generations and s ocioeconomic sectors. Multiple -case design was used. The population were Chilean men, young (18 to 25 years old) and adults (45 -65 years old); and three socioeconomic sectors, low, middle and high. Six discussion groups were conducted by the researchers h elped by male research assistants. The information obtained was analysed and the units of meaning identified were transformed into categories; these were compared in order to identify similarities, differences and links between them. The results show more marked differences in the adult group than among young men, where greater homogeneity is found between socioeconomic levels. Some coincidences were recorded between socioeconomic sector and age -group, for example high valuation of paternity and interest in active participation in parenting.
