The study, conducted by Institute for Family Studies Director of Research Wendy Wang, found that fathers are spending one more hour per week taking care of their children than they have in the past two decades.With the mother's child care remaining constant during this time and fathers spending about 7.8 hours per week on average doing the same, children are able to spend more time with both parents.
"Fatherhood is undergoing a transformation in America. Fathers overall are taking on more and more caregiving responsibilities for their children," the study states."However, fatherhood in America has been increasingly divided along educational, marital, and racial and ethnic lines." However, fathers who do not match those criteria have seen their share of child care become"stagnant or even in decline for other fathers in the past two decades."
One aspect trending in the other direction is the decrease in children living in fatherless or parentless homes, which moved from 20.6 million in 2012 to 18.4 million in 2022. While the share of children living without parents stayed about the same, those living with both increased from 68% to 70% in that time frame.
