Proposals to build better dads

BETTER Dads Malaysia, a non-profit organisation that promotes healthy and responsible fatherhood, offers several recommendations to effectively support fathers beset by challenges in meeting familial and professional needs.

> Flexible work policies: Governments can implement and incentivise policies that promote flexible work arrangements, such as telecommuting and flexible hours and parental leave options. These policies enable fathers to better balance their work and family responsibilities, leading to improved well-being and quality of life. This may also lead to a changing of the cultural mindset so that men can take on more responsibilities as a caregiver at home.
