- Description
- Despite women’s increased involvement in the workforce, there has been little corresponding change to the division of domestic labour between men and women. According to Barbara Pocock (2003) and HREOC (2007), this lack of change reflects a wider mismatch between women’s changing roles in society and the implicit assumption of a traditional division of domestic labour within the workplace and other key social institutions. Both these social commentators call for a new work/care regime to recognise caring responsibilities across the life cycle. However, other research suggests that while a new work/care regime may help make an equal division of labour more feasible, it may make little difference to men’s involvement in domestic labour.
