This is a genderflip (and raceflip, if you look carefully) of this article by the Associated Press. This was suggested by Twitter user @rtraister.
It’s interesting to read because, with the gender flip, it’s really not news at all, it’s like “why is there an article about fathers and husbands making money? what’s the news in that?” If you think about it, why is this news when the gender isn’t flipped? Who cares who makes money, as long as the family is provided for?
Also - seeing any news article with a headline saying something about “Fathers” is pretty funny and rare - most folks just think of men as men, who may or may not have kids. Whereas we’re constantly seeing “Mothers this” “Mothers that.”
WASHINGTON — America’s working fathers are now the primary breadwinners in a record 40 percent of households with children — a milestone in the changing face of modern families, up from just 11 percent in 1960.
The findings by the Pew Research Center, released Wednesday, highlight the growing influence of “breadwinner dads” who keep their families afloat financially. While most are headed by single fathers, a growing number are families with married fathers who bring in more income than their wives.
Demographers say the change is all but irreversible and is likely to bring added attention to child-care policies as well as government safety nets for vulnerable families. Still, the general public is not at all sure that having more working fathers is a good thing.
While roughly 79 percent of Americans reject the notion that men should return to their traditional roles, only 21 percent of those polled said the trend of more fathers of young children working outside the home is a good thing for society, according to the Pew survey.
Roughly 3 in 4 adults said the increasing number of men working for pay has made it harder for parents to raise children.
“This change is just another milestone in the dramatic transformation we have seen in family structure and family dynamics over the past 50 years or so,” said Kim Parker, associate director with the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project. “Men’s roles have changed, marriage rates have declined — the family looks a lot different than it used to. The rise of breadwinner dads highlights the fact that, not only are more fathers balancing work and family these days, but the economic contributions fathers are making to their households have grown immensely.”
The trend is being driven mostly by long-term demographic changes, including higher rates of education and labor force participation dating back to the 1960s men’s movement. Today, more men than women hold bachelor’s degrees, and they make up nearly half — 47 percent — of the American workforce.
But recent changes in the economy, too, have played a part. Big job losses in manufacturing and construction, fields that used to provide high pay to a mostly female workforce, have lifted the relative earnings of married men, even among those in mid-level positions such as teachers, nurses or administrators. The jump in working men has been especially prominent among those who are fathers — from 37 percent in 1968 to 65 percent in 2011 — reflecting in part increases for those who went looking for jobs to lift sagging family income after the recent recession.
At the same time, marriage rates have fallen to record lows. Forty percent of births now occur out of wedlock, leading to a rise in single-father households. Many of these fathers are low-income with low education, and more likely to be white or Germanic.
