| dc.description.abstract | Co-parenting in dual-earners families, where both
parents work, has been shown to have a significant
positive relationship with the level of satisfaction in
marriage. Unfortunately, education regarding
preparing individuals to become a parent as well as
implementing co-parenting is scarce, especially in
Indonesia. Online comics can be a great medium for
delivering educational information about co-parenting
in effort to increase parental readiness. This article
aims to explore the preparedness of dual earner
parents and how to design effective online comics as
a medium for co-parenting. To get maximum results,
this research uses a qualitative descriptive method
through journals, books and interviews. Researchers
found 6 dimensions and 3 causes that affect parental
readiness. Weak financial family management,
patriarchal culture and minimal education in preparing
become parents are identified as the main causes of
unpreparedness to become parents. Online comics
are considered to be an appropriate information
medium to educate future parents about co-parenting
as 97% of millennials are smartphone users.
Millennials love using their smartphone because of its
practicality and 75% of them uses smartphones to
access social media. The educational comic about
co-parenting that will be made is expected to be
based on the 4 components of co-parenting. The story will be comedic, virtuous, relatable, and up to
date. The visual style presented will also be
consistent and unique so that it is easily recognizable
by the reader. | en_US |
