Beware the Fatherhood Bonus

The fight against employer prejudice impacting childless men financially, morally and psychologically

In this webinar Kevin Davidson of Mindful Masculinity aims to raise awareness of how the Fatherhood Bonus impacts childless men and encourage them to question and challenge their employees for parity. Plus, inspire childless men to be more visible and present so that employers will be less likely to get away with reducing their significance when compared with fathers.

Date: Thursday 16th September

Time: 11am Pacific Time US, 1pm Central Time US, 2pm Eastern Time US, 7pm London UK

    • CVs from fathers were scored higher than identical ones from non-fathers

    • Attitudes that men with children are seen as more committed by employers

  • New York Times

    • Fathers rewarded with more money and better promotional prospects

    • High-income men get the biggest pay bump for having children

    • Fathers seen as “more stable and committed to their work”

    • Men with a family to provide for, “less likely to be flaky”

    • Men should festoon their desks with baby photos and add PTA membership to their résumés

    • The fatherhood bonus increases the earnings of men already privileged in the labour market

  • Other experiences

    • Weekend work expectation targeted more at childless men

I believe that people in this world all want a life comprising of  HEALTH, WEALTH AND HAPPINESS.  

What's stops them is their MINDSET, as it influences their behaviour for achieving the results they truly want.

In my case it was being unwilling to connect and share through vulnerability because of pride, fear and cynicism. I had to change my mindset to move forward and this is what made me more impactful in my life.

I have made it my mission to help men be more impactful, own their masculinity, become responsible, and not define their male identity on societal and cultural expectations.
