Dads may want to do more caretaking — but then face barriers, one study finds
Article here. Look, another "study" promulgating the Wage Gap Myth, decrying maternal "unpaid labor", and saying dads should "do more". Hey, if taking care of your family is "unpaid labor" deserving of monetary compensation, shouldn't men be paid by *someone* for mowing the lawn, taking out the garbage, taking the kids to school, etc. just like mom should? Sorry but this article annoys me. Why men keep having kids with women, I dunno. Excerpt:
'The concept of "providing care" could mean a myriad things beyond emotional support. It could be cooking meals for the family, cleaning the house, or taking a relative to the doctor — in other words, the unpaid labor many mothers do every day.
While progress has been made towards sharing these responsibilities in the home, there's still a long way to go.
A recent study of dads around the world — led by the nonprofit organization Equimundo, which promotes gender equality — found that while more men are doing a greater share of unpaid care work, they also faced barriers like a lack of structural support and gender stereotypes.'
