While women are more likely to be in higher education and careers than before, norms around the care of relatives, childcare and housework have still proven really stubborn to change. \n\nIn poorer countries, women still take on a huge share of this work. It has become less in richer countries, seen as more progressive. But that isn’t because men have started taking a much greater share of those chores – it is because better technology and paid help have reduced the amount of time women spend doing jobs around the home that have traditionally been seen as “women’s work”.\n\n### Why is it a problem that people are wrong about this?\nWhen it comes to equality, these should be some of the easiest things to change: Cooking, cleaning, childcare. As more women enter the workforce, men no longer have an excuse to not make an effort to share the unpaid work more equally. Not recognizing this inequality still exists can give people a false sense of progress. \n\n### Why are people wrong about this?\nThey see more women getting degrees and at high levels of politics and business and assume that the gap in the share of domestic work and care has been shrinking much more quickly than it has been in reality. \n\n### Can I trust the data?\nYes, but it has limitations. We use the UN as our source for this question. The figures they use come from time-use surveys where people report how many minutes they spend on different tasks. \nHowever, some of the data the UN uses for some countries is 20 years old and it only covers 88 countries. The average also hides big differences between countries.
