Ep 47: How involved fatherhood can drive gender equality... and why there‘s no place like home-working

Separating men from the workplace in lockdown gave them the chance to spend more time with their children, and research shows that this actually made a significant impact to the division of labour for many families. As companies now roll out hybrid working models, men’s potential return to the domestic sphere on a more permanent basis is the biggest shift for fatherhood since the industrial revolution. In this month’s everywoman Changemakers podcast episode we talk to Adrienne Burgess, Head of Research at the Fatherhood Institute, the UK’s fatherhood think tank, about how we may well look back on the past 18 months as a pivotal moment in changing the politics of both the family and gender equality.
