In the third quarter of 2022, there were 141 thousand of stay-at-home dads in the United Kingdom, up from 105 thousand in the same period in 2019. This is an increase of over 34 percent since before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns. According to the source, despite a social change in parenting, stay-at-home dads remain in the minority with 28 percent of women out of the labor force due to family obligations, compared to just seven percent of men.
