📝💡 New research by Prof @manyeekan.bsky.social & Dr @gczching.bsky.social finds that teenage girls spend more time on domestic work than boys - with the largest gender gaps found in Western societies, though still pronounced in East Asia. 🔗 www.sociology.ox.ac.uk/article/stud...

Check out #GenTime research led by @gczching.bsky.social on adolescents' #timeuse in Japan, Korea, UK & Finland across 3 decades. Gender differences in time use emerge in adolescence. Girls already undertake twice as much domestic work as boys. @sociologyoxford.bsky.social

#HappyFriday! Happy that my paper with @manyeekan.bsky.social is out! www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol... Can I also say the managing editor for DR is incredibly nice, efficient, and patient!

I enjoyed #BSPS2025 conference! #GenTime group @gczching.bsky.social @matthewhluo.bsky.social @zhuofeilu.bsky.social, organised 2 sessions: #gender #timeuse & attitudes. We can't fully address demographic challenges eg low fertility tackling gender inequalities. @sociologyoxford.bsky.social

Yujia on comparative APC effects on gender division of paid and unpaid work. Between 1985-2020, the gap in paid and unpaid work have significantly narrowed except for Japan. Gender gaps narrow across cohorts, but with some exceptions. Inverted U shape across age. @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025

Zerui Tian on how online dating relates to fertility & marital outcomes across GGS countries ⬇️ Likelihood of marriage & childbearing but no diff in rel. satis or break ups. Little diff in types of matches by demog char (hypergany/hypogany) online Vs offline @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025

@zhuofeilu.bsky.social on working from home pre-, during & after COVID on wellbeing in the UK. Mothers work from home less than any other groups. Mothers have lower enjoyment levels when working from home instead of working on site @bspsuk.bsky.social @sociologyoxford.bsky.social #bsps2025

I was really happy to host the gender ideologies session, and do the first presentation of our work using the UK GGS on gendered division of labour and gender ideologies on wellbeing with @matthewhluo.bsky.social @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025 @sociologyoxford.bsky.social

🔸 Unpaid work limits women's careers 🔸 Gender gaps in time use narrowed in 1980s-2000s but have now stalled 🔸 Men still do little unpaid work & change is too slow To close these gaps, we need paid parental leave, flexible work & cultural shifts. #InternationalWomensDay
