Resumo: This research sought to verify the characteristics and significant factors of paternal involvement in families with unemployed fathers of school age children, regarding sociodemographic aspects, family relationships and father’s depressive symptoms. The sample consisted of 188 men, users of the employment agency FGTAS (Fundação Gaúcha de Trabalho e Ação Social) – SINE of São Leopoldo/RS and Porto Alegre/RS. The majority of the fathers had been unemployed for three months, married or in a stable relationship, age between 20 and 56 years old. Data collection included Socio Demographic Inventory, Father Involvement Inventory, Beck Depressive Inventory and the Familiogram. Regarding father involvement, it was observed that factors such as level of education, financial help and helping family income through temporary jobs were associated with greater involvement with children. A more affective relationship with the wife and children also resulted in greater father involvement. In turn, depressed fathers had more conflict with wife and child, confirming the importance of emotional state to the quality of family relations. The findings reflect the need of public policies geared to assist workers and their families in unemployment situation. Conditions to deal with this adverse situation rely on emotional and financial support that family net will be able to provide to fathers during this period of time. Key words: father involvement, depression, unemployment.

A amostra foi constituída por 188 homens usuários do FGTAS (Fundação Gaúcha de Trabalho e Ação Social) – (SINE) dos municípios de São Leopoldo/RS e de Porto Alegre/ RS. A maioria dos pais estava há três meses desempregada, casados ou com união estável e com idade entre 20 e 56 anos. A coleta de dados incluiu o Inventário Sociodemográfico, o Inventário de Práticas Parentais, Inventário de Depressão Beck e o Familiograma. Ao considerar o envolvimento paterno, verificou-se que fatores como grau de escolaridade e recebimento de ajuda financeira estavam associados ao maior envolvimento do pai com os filhos. Um grau mais alto da afetividade do pai na relação com a esposa e com o filho também resultou em maior envolvimento parental. Em contrapartida, pais deprimidos tinham mais conflitos com esposa e filho, confirmando a importância do estado emocional para a qualidade das relações familiares. Os resultados encontrados refletem a necessidade de políticas públicas voltadas para o atendimento dos trabalhadores em situação de desemprego e suas famílias. As condições de enfrentamento dessa situação adversa dependem do suporte emocional e financeiro que a rede de apoio familiar poderá proporcionar ao pai durante esse período.
