London - Fathers work harder than men who do not have children, according to an analysis of working lives in the EU.
Men with children who live with them are more than twice as likely to hold down a job than men without families or men living apart from their children.
The rule holds good across Europe according to the study, based on government surveys, by EU statistics arm Eurostat.
Nearly one in three women aged 25 to 54 with children under six were economically inactive last year – without a job and not seeking one – compared to fewer than one in five women without children.
By contrast, only 4.2 percent of men with one or more children in their household were economically inactive, compared to 9.9 percent of men without children in their home. - Daily Mail
