Vietnamese men in cities more open to sharing housework with women: report
Younger men in urban areas tend to be more open to negotiating the sharing of housework, to their spouses working outside the home and to making shared large purchase decisions with their partners, a new report on men’s views on gender equality and social expectations shows.
The report titled ‘Men and Masculinities in a Globalising Việt Nam’ is the first large-scale study on men and masculinities in Việt Nam and was conducted by ISDS with support from the National Foundation for Science and Technology of Viet Nam (NAFOSTED) and Investing in Women, an initiative of the Australian government.
