Among them, 75 million are fathers to biological, step or adopted children. The third guy ducked. This is the amount of Americans recently surveyed by the National Retail Federation who said they plan to celebrate the father figures in their life this weekend. The percent of fathers who are stay-at-home dads is slowly rising. In general, dads are more involved in child care now than they were 50 years ago. In , fathers reported that they spent about 2.
In , that number had jumped to eight hours. Of the 35 million fathers with children under 18, 1. In a survey by the Pew Research Center , most dads said being a parent is rewarding and central to their identity.
The progress is incredibly slow. Across 23 middle- and high-income countries, the unpaid care gap has closed by just seven minutes over the past several decades.
Globally, women spend significantly more time than men — sometimes up to ten times as much — on unpaid care, volunteer, and domestic work and spend more time on unpaid and paid work combined. Analysis of time use data finds that if men took on at least 50 minutes more care per day and women did 50 minutes less , we would tip the scale toward equality.
One proven policy solution to support the redistribution of unpaid care work — equal, paid, nontransferable leave for all parents, including fathers — has yet to see widespread uptake. Women want men to take paternity leave, and say it would improve their own health.

Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology, 27, The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth found that obese children are more likely to live in father-absent homes than are non-obese children. Researchers using a pool from both the U. Teens without fathers were twice as likely to be involved in early sexual activity and seven times more likely to get pregnant as an adolescent.
Additionally, adolescents in single-mother and single-father families are at higher risk of risky behaviors, victimization, and mental distress compared to those in two-parent families. Being raised by a single mother raises the risk of teen pregnancy, marrying with less than a high school degree, and forming a marriage where both partners have less than a high school degree. However, higher quality father-daughter relationships are a protective factor against engagement in risky sexual behaviors.
