Labour market structures and a culture of long paid hours combine with the unequal distribution of unpaid hours to reinforce gendered outcomes in the labour market and at home. Fathers - who are more likely to spend long hours in paid work - lose out on time with their family, while mothers - who more commonly care for children - are more likely to drop out of the workforce. Time poverty is taking its toll, and addressing these challenges will require a multifaceted approach involving the government, employers, and families.
