Reconciliation Gap: Ten Times More Women Than Men Reduce Work Hours for Caregiving
Que el peso de los cuidados recae en las mujeres no es ninguna novedad. Pero cada vez que se publican datos, se corrobora la brecha que sigue habiendo entre ellas y ellos. Las cifras del módulo especial sobre conciliación de la Encuesta de Población Activa, que este viernes publica el Instituto Nacional de Estadística, lo ponen de manifiesto. Por ejemplo, que es mucho más fácil que una mujer reduzca su jornada para poder conciliar a que lo hagan los hombres: en 2025, 328.000
New data from Spain's National Statistics Institute (INE) highlights a significant gender gap in work-life balance, revealing that ten times more women than men reduce their working hours to accommodate caregiving responsibilities. In 2025, 328,000 working women transitioned from full-time to part-time employment or reduced their hours, compared to only 33,400 men. This disparity underscores the disproportionate burden of caregiving that falls on women. Furthermore, 33% of women with caregiving duties made work adjustments, such as changing roles or teleworking, compared to 18% of men. These figures demonstrate the persistent challenges women face in balancing professional careers with family responsibilities. The data points to a need for more equitable solutions and policies supporting shared caregiving roles.
The stark gender disparity in reduced work hours for caregiving reveals persistent inequalities in work-life balance, highlighting the disproportionate burden on women and the need for systemic change.
