Survey: Unequal distribution of household and childcare work - men see it differently

In heterosexual partnerships, women contribute more to housework and childcare than their male partners, even if both work full time. This was the result of the annual Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. An interesting result is that men probably don't even notice the difference. We talk about this with the co-author of the study, Dr. Inga Lass from the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research.
