The study reveals that moms are shouldering the lion's share of the cognitive household labor, managing 71% while fathers account for only 45%. This pervasive inequality contributes to stress and resentment, impacting not just family dynamics but also women's careers.
Dr. Ana Catalano Weeks emphasized the often invisible nature of this labor: 'This kind of work is unseen, but it matters. It can lead to stress, burnout and even impact women’s careers, creating strain between couples.'
The survey included a diverse group of 3,000 parents across the U.S., examining daily tasks, where mothers handled 79% compared to fathers' 37%, highlighting a significant disparity in perceived responsibilities.
