講演タイトル：”The Effects of Workplace Interventions on Men’s Childcare Participation: Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Trial” (with Shintaro Yamaguchi, Hiroko Okudaira, Mariko Sakka)
講演概要：This study examines the effectiveness of workplace interventions in promoting men’s participation in childcare. Collaborating with firms, we conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate two interventions: a work-life balance training program and an information provision initiative. Our findings demonstrate that these interventions can influence both attitudes and behaviors. Male participants of the training reported increased time spent on childcare, and their spouses’ work hours increased. Both training and information intervention successfully corrected misperceptions about colleagues’ attitudes towards paternity leave. Although intent to take paternity leave did not significantly change, overall attitudes improved. These results provide valuable insights for policymakers and organizations seeking to address gender gaps in caregiving responsibilities and promote work-life balance..
