The essay presents an explorative analysis on OECD data from the 2009 and 2018 editions of the PISA (Programme for International Stu-dent Assessment) Parents Questionnaire. Conducting the analysis, we are taking into account the different levels of involvement of Italian fathers and mothers in fifteen years old daughters’ and sons’ lives fo-cusing on gender gap. Moreover, particular attention is paid to those elements facilitating the intensity of the gender gap in caregiving work in families within the Italian families.

Keywords: fathers; daughters; sons; caregiving time; OECD-PISA.
