Could tackling so-called ‘fatherhood forfeits’ be the key to achieving gender equality in the workplace and beyond?
Dr Kelland’s ‘fatherhood forfeit’ research has been published by the House of Commons Women and Equalities Select Committee and referred to in a House of Commons debate exploring ‘Fathers in the Family’.
In the UK, the “full-time breadwinning working father” and “part-time working mother” continues to be the norm, despite the wide belief that today’s dads take a more active caregiving role than ever. Is unequal parenting load the reason that the needle on gender equality in the workplace has been stuck for more than 3 decades? In this event you’ll find out as Dr Kelland shares the staggering results of her extensive research.
This event explores the true extent of the challenges facing caregiving fathers at work - or ‘fatherhood forfeits’ - which include mockery, being viewed with suspicion and being less likely to obtain flexible working.
It’s packed with practical suggestions for how organisations can better support fathers, minimise their ‘fatherhood forfeits’ and improve gender equality for both parents within the workplace.
