Number of Stay at Home Dads on the Rise

David — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 14:17:39 +0000

The Wall Street Journal reported that the number of stay at homes dads increased by over 60% from 2003 to 2006 according to the census. In addition, Census data reported in 2008 shows that 25% of children (2.8 million out of 11.3 million) under five whose mothers are employed, are cared for by their fathers. This trend may be slowed by the economic downturn during which both husband and wife may need to work, but it is a dramatic shift from the way things were in just 10-20 years ago.

A mom’s video, ‘Why Not Dads?’, wins a video competition put on by her local news organization The Union. Monique Derenia put together this very interesting 13 minute documentary about the lives of stay-at-home dads in San Francisco.

The video gives the viewer a glimpse into the mindset of a stay-at-home dad, including the trying moments when the uniqueness of what they do for living crashes up against what “society” is used to.
