Parental leave for fathers can reduce sexist attitudes and gender bias
Parental leave for fathers can decrease sexist attitudes and gender bias, according to new collaborative Rice study. The researchers, including Jonathan Homola, an assistant professor of political science, were interested in how parental leave for nontraditional caregivers impacts individuals’ deeply ingrained attitudes about stereotypical gender roles and sexism — which can have adverse consequences when it comes to personal socioeconomic status and politics.
