Looks like dads are helping more than ever… Good news for the moms
In 1965, fathers’ time was heavily concentrated in paid work, while mothers spent more of their time on housework or childcare.

Meanwhile, women have increased their time spent doing paid work. Significant gaps remain, but there is clearly a more equal distribution of labor between mothers and fathers these days.
