Survey: For 93% of men, childcare is shared equally

On the other hand, when mothers are asked the same topic, the percentage drops considerably. Check out the details and see other results

The father is not a support network. The father does not help. The father (as well as the mother) simply assumes the responsibilities brought about by the arrival of a child. Although this is a concept already deeply rooted in a part of society, we know that, in practice, history is not quite like that for many families. And a recent survey commissioned by Ticket, an employee benefits brand, revealed curious data on the matter: 93% of the men surveyed said they share childcare equally with their spouse.

Well … Among the approximately 400 interviewed women were also heard and, when asked about the same topic, only 67% of them said that this division of labor is done fairly. It is worth mentioning that a study conducted by MindMiners and released a few months ago showed that 43% of the participating fathers did not know the meaning of “puerperium”, stating that this phase was of quiet weeks at home – against 71% of fathers. mothers, who called the postpartum period, give birth with terms like “love” and “trouble”.

Imbalance in the labor market

Ticket’s research also addressed the routine of fathers and mothers in the professional setting. 15% of men commented that they have already suffered some kind of injury in the workplace from having children. Among women the percentage rises to more than half: 53%.

Absence due to some activity or urgency related to the family is something easy for 55% of the male respondents. Already 29% of them do not feel comfortable in this sense, as they believe that their professional growth can be hindered. For the rest (16%) the answer was “more or less”. The data indicates the urgency of changes within companies, but also the the need for parents to be more involved in parenting issues.

Finally, flexible working hours are part of the reality of 51% of male respondents. 18% said they were unable to benefit from this policy due to their position or business.
