問題詳情

       As little as thirty years ago, few people questioned the gender roles that had prevailed for centuries. Theconventional wisdom was that a woman’s place was in the home and that a man’s main responsibility to his family was toput food on the table. In the 1970s and 1980s, however, greater numbers of working women meant that men were nolonger the sole breadwinners. A father’s emotional involvement with his family also became more important. Forty yearsago, almost no husbands were present in the delivery room when their wives gave birth. Today, it is generally expectedfor male partners to attend childbirth classes, to be there for the delivery, and to take more responsibility for child rearingthan their fathers or grandfathers did.      In addition to society’s changing views of the role men play in relation to childcare, social scientists also found thatthe presence of the father in the home can contribute to lower juvenile crime rates, a decrease in child poverty, and lowerrates of teenage pregnancy. Differences in parenting styles between men and women are also believed to contribute tochildren’s ability to understand and communicate emotions in different ways. The research supports the claim that theabsence of a father in the family is the single biggest problem in modern society.
