There are now 10 times as many stay-at-home dads as there were a decade ago, a study has revealed.
With the closing of the gender pay gap, not only are women now able to be the family breadwinner, we could be earning more than men. Whilst 43% of fathers surveyed felt lucky to have the opportunity to bring up their children, 46% said the decision was made to enable the main earner to keep working.
The survey, for insurer Aviva, looked at 2,000 families with children. It found that 14% of those families had dad stay at home and look after the children.
Are you a stay at home dad? Would your partner stay at home if it was reasonably possible? Do you think women should stay at home while men go out to work?
