New Role for Men, A

Synopsis: What has been the effect of the changing role of women upon men? Gives the views of some boys from two schools in the Midlands, a comprehensive school in Corby and an independent school in nearby Oakham, also mixed. How do boys see their role as men; what domestic tasks do they expect to perform? The main question asked of the boys was how they would feel about the situation when a man loses his job and stays at home to look after young children while his wife goes out to work. The questions were also asked of 6th-form boys and younger boys.
