Gender equality through empowering men at home | Natacha Catalino | TEDxBasel

Why don’t more men choose to work part-time? Why don’t more men do an equal share of housework and childcare? Natacha Catalino explores how society’s norms shape the way men and women share home responsibilities, and how engrained beliefs from our media and upbringing shape how we share (or not!).

The intro animation was produced as a collaboration between TEDxBasel and the Hochschule Luzern. This animation was created by Loïc Kreyden and Valentine Moser.
