IMAGES: International Men And Gender Equality Survey
Emancipator compiled a report based on existing research on men and the various IMAGES topics: Experiences, behavior and attitudes of men in the Netherlands: a literature review inspired by the International Men and Gender Equality Survey (2022).
Men and home care
While the combination of men and caring does not seem self-evident, the combination of men and informal or home care raises even more questions. Yet it is becoming increasingly clear that men are perfectly capable of caring, that they are doing so more and more often, and that home care is a growing part of such care. This publication illustrates this through a literature study, interviews with experts and by letting men speak for themselves.
