Stay-at-home dads are worth €45k per year

Stay-at-home dads are worth around €45,000 a year, according to financial experts.

Latest figures from the Central Statistics Office reveal that there are now at least 10,150 men who classify themselves as stay-at- home fathers.

However, it is believed that there are many more men working full-time in the home who did not categorise themselves in Census 2011.
