A recent study has shown that 40 percent of women are now the main earners in their households.
Which is great and frankly a far higher percentage than I would have guessed.
However the downside is that women are still doing 70 percent of the household chores.
So there's more inequality in the home than in the workplace!
I can't link to the study from my source (the Sunday Times) as it is subscription-only.
How do we address the inequality in the.home? How do we address the remaining inequality at work?
The article mentions having parental leave rather than maternity leave as being key.
