Poll: Men more involved in parenting
Print Edition
MOST people in emerging and developed economies believe men are now more involved in parenting than ever before, with many saying the role of women should not be confined to the home, a global survey indicated yesterday.
Nearly 70 percent of people thought men had a “greater responsibility for the home and childcare” than they had ever had, according to a survey of 18,180 adults across 22 countries, including India, the United States, Indonesia, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, Mexico and Britain.
Respondents from India, Argentina and Indonesia were most likely to say that men now had more parenting duties, while those from Russia were least likely to agree.
The online poll also found that only 37 percent of people thought the role of women was to be “good mothers and wives.”
The three countries where most respondents agreed that women belonged in the home were Indonesia (76 percent), Russia (69 percent) and India (64 percent).
“The world remains divided over the role of women, but the majority do not think women should stay at home and have children,” Claire Emes, senior director of Ipsos MORI, that conducted the survey, said in a statement.
