Father's Day
According to the Culture Translator by Axis this week, we get some interesting information about Fathers!
Why it’s nuanced: According to the Pew Research Center, 85% of fathers say that parenthood is one of the most important aspects of their identity, and they’re spending more minutes doing “primary caregiving” in the early years of their kids’ lives. This is good news for moms, as child-rearing increasingly happens without community support, and fathers who share the childcare load are a game-changer. But there’s one big caveat here: a dad’s ability to be engaged on a day-to-day level with kids often requires having a flexible schedule, which tends to require a higher level of education. In other words, who gets to show up most often as a dad isn’t necessarily a reflection of which dads care the most. As we close in on Father’s Day, we’d like to shout out the dads who are showing up in every way they can, even when economic and logistical constraints make them feel like that isn’t enough.
