Time format:

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 household type. For the purposes of this indicator, five household types are distinguished:

• Single without children
• Lone parents or single cohabiting with children
• In a couple without children
• In a couple cohabitating with children
• Other

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.
