Stay at Home Dads have now reached the 6% level according to this new survey by Aviva. It also confirms that fact that many women find the transition back to work tough with 39% saying they found it difficult.
With more Mothers now earning as much as Father (17%) parents are now able to decide who should care for the family equally. Who wants to stay at home and who wants to work? This will work well for Paternity leave too. Who wants to spend time at home without the fear of a significant loss of income. A more healthy decision then one partner ‘having’ to stay at home even though they might not be the parent who most wants to.
