Feature on Workplace Gender Equality Agency website

The WGEA recently approached me for a piece they were putting together on men negotiating flexible work arrangements. Is great to see some focus on this topic, especially on the back of recent ABS stats on the rise of stay-at-home fathers. Of course it is always important to caution against an over emphasis on this type of social change. Women still do the majority of carework (in all forms), and the penalties for this – even in the presumed-to-be safety of academia – are still significant.
