Summary
About half of working women reported feeling stressed “a lot of the day,” compared to about 4 in 10 men, according to a Gallup report published this week.
The report suggests that competing demands of work and home comprise part of the problem: working women who are parents or guardians are more likely than men who are parents to say they have declined or delayed a promotion at work because of personal or family obligations, and mothers are more likely than fathers to “strongly agree” that they are the default responders for unexpected child care issues.
4 in 10 is about half…
The differences in social expectations is a valid topic, but that sentence made me chuckle.
Plus this is 4/10 stubborn men admitting being stressed, the real number has to be higher lol
If we first got those numbers down to 2:10 and 1:10, we could then try to learn why women are reporting being stressed “a lot of the day” at twice the rate of men.
