The White House's Council on Economic Advisors have assembled a bunch of charts and facts about work and family life in America, of which I think the most noteworthy is the rather rapid advance in fathers' participation in basic childcare:
Of course, an increase from 56 percent of dads reading to their kids to 65 percent means there are still 35 percent of dads who aren't reading to their children. Fathers' participation is, of course, an important measure of fairness to moms. But it also turns out to be really crucial to kids.
We're here to shed some clarity
One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal.
Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
