U.S. fathers today are spending\u00a0more time<\/a> caring for their children than they did a half-century ago. Still, most (63%) say they spend too little time with their kids and a much smaller share (36%) say they spend the right amount of time with them, according to a Pew Research Center\u00a0survey<\/a> conducted in August and September 2017.<\/p>\n

Moms, by comparison, still do more of the child care and are more likely than dads to say they are satisfied with the amount of time they spend with their kids. About half (53%) say this, while only 35% say they spend too little time with their children, according to the survey.<\/p>\n

Fathers without a bachelor\u2019s degree are particularly likely to say they spend too little time with their kids. About seven-in-ten dads with some college or less education (69%) say this is the case, compared with half of dads with at least a bachelor\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n
