It?s a while since I?ve had an iShare survey, so I?m not just pleased to see an update, but also to see a rather interesting topic being surveyed, that of child-rearing and doting fathers, with both the husbands rating themselves and wives rating their husbands.

Demographics

Over the 15th and 16th of March 2012 726 members of the CLUB BBQ free email forwarding service completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 50.3% of the sample were female, 33.7% in their twenties, 33.2% in their thirties, and 33.1% in their forties, furthermore, all were married with a pre-school child. The survey was conducted in conjunction with Benesse?s Women?s Mall.

If you want to find out how doting a parent you are, Benesse?s Women?s Mall offer a self-test.

In the survey below, I use the Japanese term ????, ikumen, which describes men who proactively take part in child-rearing, and who grow up themselves while enjoying child-rearing.
