The importance of the role of fathers has been confirmed by numerous researches and studies. We celebrate them on the third Sunday of June, on Father’s Day, when we celebrate fatherhood. On this occasion, referring to various research results, the Mária Kopp Institute for Demography and Families (KINCS) concludes, that in Hungary the role of men is rather seen according to the traditional model, but the sharing of parental responsibilities is also more and more present in families. Fatherhood has positive effects on men’s quality of life, which is why it is gratifying that men’s desire to have children has increased.
