📝💡 New research by Prof @manyeekan.bsky.social & Dr @gczching.bsky.social finds that teenage girls spend more time on domestic work than boys - with the largest gender gaps found in Western societies, though still pronounced in East Asia. 🔗 www.sociology.ox.ac.uk/article/stud...

Quote from Dr Grace Change: "Understanding adolescent behaviours enables demographers to identify early life cycle factors contributing to gender inequality, examine their effect on transitions to adulthood, and assess their long-term implications for population change and behaviour."

Check out #GenTime research led by @gczching.bsky.social on adolescents' #timeuse in Japan, Korea, UK & Finland across 3 decades. Gender differences in time use emerge in adolescence. Girls already undertake twice as much domestic work as boys. @sociologyoxford.bsky.social

🔸 Unpaid work limits women's careers 🔸 Gender gaps in time use narrowed in 1980s-2000s but have now stalled 🔸 Men still do little unpaid work & change is too slow To close these gaps, we need paid parental leave, flexible work & cultural shifts. #InternationalWomensDay
