AN INCREASE in the number of fathers wanting to spend more time with their children has led to almost a million men in Britain choosing to work part-time.
Thousands of fathers have joined a growing trend for men to share child-care responsibilities by cutting their hours, data from the Office for National Statistics show.
It comes after a separate research showed that more than two-thirds of fathers under 35 regularly take their children to and from school.
Statistics show that the number of men choosing to work fewer hours has jumped in the last two decades, from 367 000 in 1995 to about 992 000 today. – Daily Mail
