Going to work and earning a wage is not the most important thing dads do for their children.
The health, the education or the well-being of children are not just mums' jobs. Men are important in the care and welfare of children and young people and parenting is increasingly shared. Mothers are spending more time in paid employment and fathers are more active in their children's lives.

For most dads the traditional role of earning a wage for the family now sits alongside activities that used to be considered just mums' territory.
Fathers can make an enormous difference to the lives of children and young people.
