Abstract
In this ‘Debates and issues’ article, we want to highlight: the issue of a lack of male informal carers; the underlying reasons for it, such as stereotypes, socialisation and representations; and the implications for society, for example, gender inequality and the growing need for informal carers due to shifting demographics in Western societies. In our opinion, there is a lack of research on men in (informal) care work and too little conversation on the reasons why, for example, toxic masculinities, the lack of role models and the neglect of the care sector by policymakers.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
