Between women and men in the EU, there\u2019s a greater balance of childcare. But there isn\u2019t when it comes to the type of task according to EIGE\u2019s latest evidence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The\u00a0distribution of unpaid childcare<\/a>\u00a0between women and men is moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n

EIGE\u2019s evidence from a 2022 survey on gender gaps in unpaid care, individual and social activities shows that 91% of women and 86% of men provide informal childcare to their own children below 25, at least four times a week.<\/p>\n

But the picture doesn\u2019t start and stop there. A big gender disparity emerges when it comes to the type of childcare activity undertaken.<\/p>\n

Who does what?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

EIGE\u2019s evidence from the survey (more results will be in the Gender Equality Index 2023) finds that more intensive childcare for smaller children \u2013 like bathing, feeding and changing diapers \u2013 is mostly taken up by women \u2013 regardless of factors like income, education levels, or migration background.<\/p>\n

Rather disturbingly, nearly half of women –\u00a049%<\/strong>\u00a0– living with a partner report assuming primary responsibility for these kinds of essential tasks, compared to a mere\u00a06%<\/strong>\u00a0of men.<\/p>\n

There are more pronounced differences between women and men across other types of childcare activities, as depicted in the table below.<\/p>\n

Distribution of informal childcare activities for children below 25 between partners within the household (%, EU-27, 2022)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Distribution
Source:\u00a0 EIGE Survey of gender gaps in unpaid care, individual and social activities, QC5. “Who in your household generally performs the following childcare tasks?\u201d Answers: almost completely me, for the most part me, equally me and my partner, almost completely my partner, for the most part my partner, almost completely or for the most part someone else (paid), almost completely or for the most part someone else (unpaid). Respondents could also select \u2018not applicable\u2019 when care tasks were not relevant to them and their children.
\n<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Looking at the childcare tasks provided for older rather than younger children, we still see significant gender differences for activities such as support with homework, as well as supervision and emotional support.<\/p>\n

Perception vs. reality<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Regardless of the type of the task, men are reported to believe they commit to an equal sharing of childcare.<\/p>\n

Yet not all tasks are equal in nature.<\/p>\n

The reality is, tending to a sick child is a very different task to picking up a child from school. Both are tasks but can be vastly different in terms of time, intensity, and mental load.<\/p>\n

A disparity in perceptions of childcare tasks could lead to more women feeling their efforts go unnoticed \u2013 which can have negative spillover effects both in terms of work-life balance and in the labour market.<\/p>\n

EIGE had identified in earlier evidence that the\u00a0gender gaps in the labour market<\/a>\u00a0will only increase if we do not see more participation from men in unpaid care \u2013 a key area for action outlined in the\u00a0\u00a0EU Gender Equality Strategy<\/a>\u00a02020-2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conciliar mejor la vida laboral y familiar \u2013 Reducir las diferencias entre hombres y mujeres en materia de cuidados
\n<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Gendered expectations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The expectation that women will take on the more emotional labour while men will make more passive contributions are stereotypes holding back change.<\/p>\n

For some families, men being the primary breadwinners and women being the primary caregivers works well. For others it does not.<\/p>\n

Therefore, we need to encourage further dialogue and actions towards creating a society where creating a mindset shift and developing new habits in childcare duties work in parallel, benefitting both parents and children alike.<\/p>\n

EIGE Director, Carlien Scheele\u00a0says<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Beyond the knowledge we gained through our research, we brought this topic to life in conversation with multiple and diverse actors in the gender equality community during EIGE\u2019S Gender Equality Forum in October last year. We had a session focused on care where representatives from Member States weighed in on their own experiences and findings. Overall, it was stressed that workplaces need to empower both women and men to use flexible work for family responsibilities \u2013 so if a child needs to be picked up at 4pm, they can be picked up at 4pm without fearing it would jeopardize a chance for promotion \u2013 and this goes especially to men who often face \u2018punishment\u2019 from managers for needing to be a father in the middle of the working day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Promising payoffs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the EU, as well as globally, there is a proven track record of\u00a0things getting better<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With proactive campaign engagement the relationship between unpaid childcare and the role of dads is changing.<\/p>\n

From the Nordic Member States to India, the idea that dads can and should take a more active role in housework and childcare is slowly becoming normalised, releasing both women and men from heavily gendered norms.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0#Sharetheload<\/a>\u00a0campaign backed by Ariel, it addresses the impact of an unequal home, and urges action to correct the gap.<\/p>\n

In the same vein, the\u00a0#Dadonboard<\/a>\u00a0movement from the Nordic Member States highlights the necessity for dads to take up parental leave while also encouraging Nordic governments to promote equal parenting.<\/p>\n

Accelerating gender equality in care<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While we see cultural change happening \u2013 it would move a lot faster with policy and legislative changes.<\/p>\n

We hope to see the\u00a0EU Work-life balance Directive<\/a>\"Anchor\"\"Anchor\"\u00a0and the more recent\u00a0European Care Strategy<\/a>\u00a0put into practice to close gender gaps in care through men\u2019s increased involvement in care, flexible working arrangements and the provision of affordable and high-quality care services.<\/p>\n

More survey results will be published in the upcoming Gender Equality Index 2023 report.<\/strong><\/p>\n
