Hi guys,
I am a mum of a 3yo DS and another one on the way. I am completing my economics dissertation and need a male perspective on this question as all the literature I have found focuses on women's thoughts.
My project is using empirical evidence that explains that men continue to earn higher wages than women and childcare is the UK is very expensive therefore many parents find they must choose to have a parent to stay-at-home and carry out all the unpaid work i.e. cooking /cleaning /childcare.
Anyway my questions are:
Do you think it better for women to carry out unpaid work i.e. childcare cooking cleaning or not and why?
And do you think its better for the children, you and your partner to stay-at-home? - Do you think its better for yours and your children's relationship and well-being or do you think this is an outdated view?
Do you think they're social pressures on women to work but this is likely not to be their preference?
Please let me know your thoughts and experiences guys, they're very much appreciated.
Thank you.
