Promotion of co-responsibility in care work and its importance (EN)
Ending date: 2025
Care work in Andalusia falls disproportionately on women, generating gender inequalities in time, opportunities and social participation.
This module proposes the development of a comprehensive programme to promote co-responsibility in care work between men and women.
• Andalusian families.
• Men and women of all ages.
• Professionals in the field of equality and work-life balance.
The programme includes the following actions:
• Awareness-raising campaigns: Campaigns will be carried out to raise awareness in society of the importance of co-responsibility in care work and to promote a more equitable distribution between men and women.
• Measures to reconcile work and family life: The range of public childcare and elderly care services will be extended, and flexible working hours and equal and non-transferable parental leave will be promoted.
• Training and support for families: Training and support programmes will be offered to families to facilitate the organisation and sharing of care work in the home.
• Involvement of the private sector: Co-responsibility in the business sphere will be promoted through measures such as equality plans and care time allowances.
• Cultural resistance to traditional gender roles.
• Difficulties in reconciling work and family life.
• Lack of co-responsibility on the part of men.
• Increased co-responsibility in care work between men and women.
• Greater gender equality in the distribution of time and opportunities.
• Improved reconciliation of work and family life.
• Reduction of the gender gap in the labour market.
• Promotion of women's social participation.
