Hombres y mujeres en los cuidados

viejos y nuevos modelos para la igualdad

Abstract

Opinion polls show an increasing adherence of the Spanish population –both male and female– to gender equity. Such statements contrast with the persistent unequal distribution of carework between women and men in the domestic-familiar sphere. The article offers an analysis of the impact of different models of care provision on gender equality and establishes a dialogue with Nancy Fraser's approaches based on the findings of an ethnographic research developed in Andalusia. The construction of a new social order where all the people participate in the paid and unpaid work (care), “shared responsibility” at the micro level and "social care" at the macro level are required for a full and equal involvement of men in care.
