Women's Voices. Women Vote. If there is a work/family balance, it appears to depend on where you stand in the social order
Fem2.0 continues its campaign to change the public discourse around work and life issues with its second in a series of blog radio interviews. Today’s topic: Work/Life and Men.
Can Superman Be Family Man?
Work/life is NOT just a women’s issue, as men are navigating rapidly changing gender roles and relationships in the family and the workplace. What daunting barriers do working fathers face in sharing responsibilities in the household? How does the wife being the primary bread-winner shape a man’s position in the workforce?
What does it take for a caring, responsible father to be both a breadwinner and a family man?
If there is a work/family balance, it appears to depend on where you stand in the social order.
Join with some of America’s leading experts as they discuss the problems, possibilities and policies surrounding fathers in the workplace.
