“Fathers’ active participation in family life will likely be one of the most important social developments of the 21st century,” says this article from the Conversation. The article highlights findings and recommendations from the State of the World’s Fathers 2015 report, published by MenCare and launched at the UN Headquarters in New York on 16 June 2015. The article discusses the need for paid paternity leave and other employment policies that would allow working fathers more time to engage with their children and participate more equally in caregiving responsibilities.
