With the increase in women’s participation in the labour force, many mothers have less time available to undertake domestic activities. At the same time, there has been increasing recognition that father’s role and relationship with a child is important. A father can have many roles in the family, ranging from income provider to teacher, carer, playmate and role model. Therefore, balancing paid work and family responsibilities can be an important issue for both fathers and mothers in families.
