But dad, it’s not fair

#DailySignals - Your 2 minute preview of the future

Boys, boys, boys!

Todays signal looks at the cyclical link between fatherlessness and inequality and how one creates the other and so on and so on…

In South Africa - where only ~4 in 10 children live with their fathers, the “2 parent privilege” demands closer inspection (thanks to Johan Fourie who’s recent article caught my attention, even though the statistics sited are a few years old).

Having to parents to take care of you fiscally and physically is a major life long advantage - surely we want more of the good stuff? So why are we so “positive” about the lonely single parent existence - by accident or design - in pop media?

I do wonder…

How about you?

Should keeping families together be a policy issue?

Or are there other factors at play?

Let me know.
