Advancing towards a care society: addressing the gender care gap (debate)
I think it is extremely important to recognize what work is done in a family and who has what share in it. You see that in some countries, as you say, those tasks are not distributed fairly at the time of a divorce. In other European countries, fair distribution is possible. I think every situation needs to be looked at very carefully. Sometimes the division of tasks is the other way around. Sometimes it's a man who takes on more care responsibilities and the woman who earns more. It must be examined whether a family and all members of the family, after such a painful situation, can live on in the same way.
