Dads do four times more childcare than 60 years ago - but it's still not as much as mums!

Dad sat on the floor playing with his child.

A study has shown British fathers spend 'four times longer' caring for their children than they did 60 years ago, but mothers maintain the lion's share of the work.

Despite research suggesting that children can excel in the classroom with the right input from their father, and a step towards paternity pay and increased leave opportunities to encourage shared parental responsibilities, dads still aren't quite taking on their share of parenting duties.
