While more Singaporean fathers want to play an active role at home, workplace culture and policy haven’t fully caught up. With only around half of eligible dads taking paternity leave, the reality is that many working fathers face structural and cultural barriers when it comes to being present parents.

Dr. Xander Ong, CEO of Centre for Fathering joins the Breakfast Show to explore how far Singapore has come in supporting working dads and how much further we need to go. Are employers ready to offer flexibility and emotional support for fatherhood the way they’ve done for working mothers? What will it take to build truly inclusive family-first workplaces, where both parents are empowered to be caregivers?
