Fathers earn more
Fathers earn more than childless men with the same age and education. This results from a recent study involving 4.285 Dutch men with higher education, both academic and professional. They participated in the WageIndicator survey during the last quarter of 2007 and the first of 2008.
Across the board fathers make a gross average of € 6 more. They earn around € 24.50 per hour as against € 18.50 by their less fortunate male colleagues. The childrens’ age has no significant impact on this gap. Therefore it seems, once the fathers’ lead has been established, it is there to stay.
