Description
Explore 'Men at Work: Australia's Parenthood Trap', a groundbreaking book that delves into the crucial issues surrounding fatherhood, gender roles, and workplace flexibility in Australia. This insightful read, authored by Annabel Crabb, examines why many fathers remain absent during their children's formative years and why the uptake of parental leave by men is still alarmingly low. As societal norms shift, the need for men to embrace family roles is more pressing than ever. With an engaging combination of political commentary, workplace research, and relatable humor, Crabb navigates the changing landscape of fatherhood, especially post-COVID-19 lockdowns.
This 160-page B-format paperback, published by Black Inc in 2020, invites readers to reflect on their own expectations about parenting and work. Crabb underscores the irony of the significant changes women have made in their professional lives while men have largely maintained traditional roles, often influenced by societal pressures. The book poses essential questions: Is the reluctance to accept parental leave and flexible work arrangements a result of genuine desire, or is it the societal conditioning that discourages change?
Perfect for fathers, parents-to-be, and anyone interested in gender equity in the workplace, 'Men at Work: Australia's Parenthood Trap' challenges the status quo while providing a humorous yet sharp critique of contemporary parenting dynamics. This book is more than just a read; it's a call to rethink fatherhood and promote a balanced approach to parenting responsibilities.
