Beliefs about attitudes and roles of men and women regarding unpaid childcare and housework, by age group eige_gap_attit__ggs_attit_age

Time format:
Years
Unit:
Percentage (comparable)
Description:

This dataset shows respondents’ views about attitudes and roles of women and men regarding unpaid childcare and housework.

The numbers indicate what percentage (%) of all respondents have expressed each level of agreement (on a five-point scale, from ‘strongly disagree’ to ‘strongly agree’) with each of the following statements:

  • A working mother can establish just as warm and secure a relationship with her children as a mother who does not work.
  • Boys have the same obligations to help with household chores as girls.
  • If the child is ill, the father should also go on sick leave.
  • A family is stronger when fathers not only support the family financially, but also take care of children.
  • Mothers should make most of the decisions on how to bring up their children.
  • Household work should be shared by partners equally.

This indicator is disaggregated by the age of the respondent. Five categories are used: 16-24; 25-49; 50-64; 65 or more.

More information on the methodological aspects of EIGE’s “survey on gender gaps in unpaid care, individual and social activities (CARE)”.can be obtained in the technical report.
