Study Notes

Employees in the UK have the right to request flexible working, which means they can work from home, alter their working hours, or change their job duties.
Men are more likely to be turned down when asking for flexible working than women, and the most important thing that needs to happen is for employers to actively encourage their male employees to use their right to request flexible working.
Until men are enabled to be active fathers, we will not see equality at home and we will not see equal working conditions for men and women.
Men are more likely to have their request turned down or rejected than women.
There is a bias in the system - whereby unfairness, treating one group of people more favourably than another, can prevent some men from being active fathers.
Having more active fathers can lead to equality - or fairness - at home and in the workplace.
According to official data, Mexican workers work the longest hours.
Germans work the fewest hours.
