Briefly describe one factor that is correlated with fathers providing near-equal care of their children as mothers do in developed countries?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer:
- If fathers and mothers work about the same number of hours outside the home, fathers are almost equal in the amount of time they spend on childcare. They are expected to do the same tasks because gender roles are likely more flexible and both parents need to pitch in to manage the multiple demands of home and work life.
- If the couple is happily married, fathers spend almost the same amount of time as mothers in childcare tasks. He may want to spend more time together as a family if he is happy, and therefore takes a more active role in childcare.
