Gender equality on the test: old roles through parenting

The article discusses how traditional gender roles persist in Austrian families despite more egalitarian attitudes toward gender equality. It examines data from 2003 to 2023 showing that while societal views have become more progressive, the division of labor within households remains largely unchanged. The study combines three datasets: the 'Sozialen Survey Österreich', time-use data, and information on parental leave usage. It highlights that becoming a parent often leads to a decline in egalitarian beliefs, with parents being less likely to oppose stereotypes about working mothers compared to those without children. Additionally, there has been a shift in perception regarding domestic work, with more people now viewing it as less fulfilling than paid employment.
