Women and parents- daughters seeing fathers do household chores more likely to grow up into aspirational roles
08/19/2014
A study at the Universiy of British Columbia reported in journal Psychological Science shows girls who see fathers do household chores alongside their mothers are more likely to want to take up aspirational roles for professions in science, and other nontraditional fields. Fathers who act out their beliefs in gender equality by taking a large or equal share in household chores give daughters the perception that too can find the same in their lives for nontraditional roles. Only about 15% of the fathers actually did this even though a much larger number believed in gender equality.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
