Reconciling job and family is still a massive challenge for parents. At the same time, there are different societal expectations as to how both can be adequately reconciled, resulting in role conflicts among parents and the feeling that it is impossible to please everyone. The talk explores this ideological area of tension and shows how 'gender attitudes' affect gender-based sharing of tasks.

The lecture is part of the RMU online talk series "Familie im Fokus – Vereinbarkeit in der Forschung“, in which the reconcilability of family life, studies and work is addressed from a scientific perspective. Over the course of the semester, researchers from the Rhine-Main Universities present their research results on various aspects of reconcilability.
