Summary
Dads are now more involved in parenting than ever before—sometimes even outpacing hunter-gatherer societies like the Aka Pygmies—thanks to a shrinking support network and rising expectations. But this surge isn’t equal: college-educated dads are spending nearly an hour more per day with kids than their less-educated counterparts, fueled by better jobs, paid leave, and the culture of “intensive parenting.” The result? Hands-on parenting is becoming a privilege, not a universal right—calling for policies that level the playing field so all dads can be present, no matter their income.
