A new study by Dr Clare Stovell (IOE, UCL ’s Faculty of Education & Society ), published in the Journal of Family Studies , highlights how a lack of discussion between parents about important choices such as parental leave, work and childcare is perpetuating traditional gender roles.

The study found that there are engrained and unquestioned expectations for fathers to work full-time, while mothers take on the primary carer role.
