Listen "Panel: 'Can Men's Roles Change' (All About Women 2015)"
Episode Synopsis
The arrival of women in the workplace has changed the way society functions – whether we’re talking about jobs and career, bringing up kids, or relationships. Research tells us that while women’s responsibilities have shifted to include paid work, their male partners still don’t share equally in the work at home.

And will their workplaces let them?Annabel Crabb is one of Australia's most popular political commentators and the host of Australia's first dedicated political cooking show, ABC TV's Kitchen Cabinet.
