    Why Every Day Should be Father’s AND Mother’s Day

    Posted on June 19, 2011 in Opinion Pieces


    As we celebrate Father’s Day 2011, the 1950s assumption that men take care of tasks outside the home while women take care of tasks inside the home is clearly out of date. In many metropolitan areas, women in their 20s earn more than their male counterparts. At all ages, the percentage of wives out-earning their husbands is growing rapidly. And as women take on a larger share of breadwinning, men have been taking on a larger share of household tasks.

Between 1965 and 2003, men tripled the amount of time they spent in child care. In honor of Father’s Day, here are some surprising and thought-provoking facts and figures about fatherhood today.
