Read the passage and choose the correct answers.The changing roles of the modern-day fatherFathers used to act as the ‘breadwinner’ of their family, and as the teacher of moral andreligious values.Today, however, those roles are gradually changing.Changes in economic rolesMore and more women are going out to work and earn money. This increases thebudget of the family. Apart from that, there are various social welfare programmes whichfinancially assist mothers in supporting their children. Both these changes have greatlyimpacted the role of fathers because they make paternal financial support less essentialfor many families.Changes in caregiving rolesWith the burden of financial support reduced, and with a changing concept of a father'srole, modern day fathers tend to be more involved in children's caregiving. They are nowspending more time and energy on their children.Psychological research across families from all ethnic backgrounds suggests that theinfluence of a father's love and attention is as great as that of a mother's. Fatherly lovehelps children develop a sense of their place in the world, which helps their social andemotional development .Moreover, children whoreceive more love from their fathers areless likely to have behavioural problems.This trend is still increasing and its effects will become clearer and clearer in thefuture, especially in traditionally male-dominated societies.
