Fathers in Tokyo spend less time with their children on weekdays compared with fathers in Seoul, Beijing and Shanghai, but out of the four groups they spend the most time with them on weekends, a recent poll by Benesse Corp. found.
Ahead of Fathers' Day on June 20, Benesse released a survey on fathers in the four cities who have a child aged 5 or younger. It surveyed 1,602 fathers in Tokyo last August, then in March polled 1,046 fathers in Seoul, 1,800 fathers in Beijing and 1,800 fathers in Shanghai.
