Men around the world are eager to increase their caring responsibilities at home, but ingrained social expectations and a lack of support are discouraging them from doing so, according to a new report.
Between 70% and 90% of men across 16 of the 17 surveyed countries said they felt equally responsible for care work as their partner, but unequal pay and inadequate government policies mean women still perform up to seven times more unpaid care work in some countries, according to the State of the World’s Fathers report.
