Women still spend more time caring for children compared to men, as evident from the US survey carried out between 2011 and 2021.
Interestingly, while levels of employment affected child care time for both men and women, for men the effect was less pronounced.
One other interesting finding is that the difference between men and women is minimal when both work full-time, suggesting a more equal distribution of duties due to lack of available time.
Yea my intention was only to show that even in happier countries there can be natural differences in self assigned care giving duties. I wasn’t disagreeing with anything just trying to add to the conversation. Yea happiness is a strange metric I hear you, but the Nordic countries are generally high up in the list of “gender equality” or equity or what not.
I see!
