Fathering over time: what makes the difference?
Article Abstract:
The extent to which fathers contribute to child care and factors related to it were studied using longitudinal data from the 1987-1988 and 1992-1993 National Surveys of Families and Households. Findings revealed that fathers in two-parent families devote less time to child care compared to the mothers. This was true when the children still required physical help and when they were of school age.
