Dads are more educated than childless men — and more Father’s Day facts

American dads tend to be better educated than men without children, and relatively few men have children over age 40.

Those are some of the fun facts the US Census Bureau rolled out just in time for Father’s Day.

More than 60 percent of the 121 million adult men in the US are dads, an analysis of 2014 data found.

About three-quarters of them were married. Almost 13 percent of dads were divorced and 8 percent had never been married.

Just under a quarter of US men between ages 40 and 50 were childless, and about 17 percent had never been married by the time they reached their 40s.

There were noticeable differences in workforce participation between fathers and mothers with young children. Nearly 90 percent of fathers whose youngest child was under age 6 were employed, while that figure was only around 60 percent for mothers, according to the report.

Men with children tended to be more educated than those without kids, although the report noted that may be the result of age since the chances of becoming fathers and reaching higher-education levels increases with age.
