More and more men Wash, clean and rinse. But with executives to reveal differences: Successful women care at home for fine men can be betüdeln.
“The little household makes by itself, says my husband. The bit budget can not be that bad, says my husband.” The once sang the actress Joan of Koczian. Nearly 40 years later, there are in Germany, more and more men who mow the lawn at home not only, but also washing, cleaning or rinsing. Nevertheless, the traditional division of labor is still widespread in the home – even when women work in her profession as a manager. This emerges from a study by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW). Accordingly, 82 percent of female executives at least one hour on weekdays seem to housework. This is true but only just over half of men in such positions. Even on weekends draw women who work as executives in the German private sector, more time for brooms, detergent or iron than comparable men.
They are mostly highly skilled, often in senior positions and have partially the same work, and yet there are between women and men in management positions varies enormously. This begins with the work. Women with such jobs are working according to the DIW study an average of 41 hours a week, men 46. These remain more likely than the fellow times longer than 50 or 60 hours in the office. No matter what sex they are, but the leaders have a common desire: they want to work less seven to eight hours per week
Margaret Thatcher, 1975: As chairman of the Conservative Party is not much time for rinsing. Four years later, as prime minister, the time was even scarcer.

The researchers evaluated favor of the socio-economic panel for the 2013 about 30 000 people were interviewed in 15,000 households. From this group, the researchers filtered out 1550 managers, of which 445 were women. From their data shows that the behavior at issue housework and family still often differ very widely depending on the sex of each other.
Women in leadership positions have, for example, hardly infants to three years in the household. This applies only to twelve percent. For men, the share amounts to one quarter. “This suggests that often yet another person in men in leadership positions – most probably the partner – in the background is, the largely free holding back her husband Such assistance by the partner is likely to be far less given among female executives.” , according to the study.
difficult to reconcile
Expect professionals a child, they are faced with the question of how they want to divide work and childcare. The fact that desire and reality often diverge, showing a presented on Tuesday at the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs representative study by the Institute for Allensbach. Almost half of the 3151 surveyed parents of young children wants the same or approximately the same working hours for both partners and an early childcare in crib or day care.
But this can only be achieved over a third of parents. In most families, the father continues to work after the birth of their first child in full-time, while the mother is working only part-time or not at all. For a clear majority to it with the birth of other children does not change.
The job for fathers as mothers has a high priority. For 92 percent of fathers the occupation is very or fairly important. In women in full-time jobs are 94 percent, in part-time 86 percent. And more than half of non-working women would like to work. In addition, more than half of the fathers wishes to support equal rights to share with your partner. That not even manage one in five.
Why then still running with so many families out on the model of full-time and part-time? Almost half of the parents stated that they can not financially afford the same working hours. With 45 percent of respondents to the boss locked up more family-friendly working hours. Of the 19 percent of the fathers who gave up their parental leave, had more than one-third of fear of occupational disadvantages. Also more than one third of those fathers stated that parental leave was professionally difficult to organize.
The re-entry into full-time or longer part-time manages almost half of those women who before the birth of a lot of responsibility and a high content had. Women in less responsible positions succeed only in about one third of cases. Every five mother of re-entry fails due to a lack of care place.
The majority of those parents who are looking for the same working hours, but may not realize that policy is an obligation. Family Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD) said on Tuesday its coalition have already launched solutions on the way. At the weekend they had announced more 24-hour day care centers. The parental allowance Plus allows parents whose children are born after 30 June, to work during parental benefit is being claimed in part-time and increase the resultant lack of revenue share.

“Moving ahead, but it’s relatively slow progress . “
It is fitting that female managers are rarely married and weekdays almost twice as long to look after the children as men in these positions. This double burden affects apparently even in bed from: women who are corporate executives report more frequently (29 percent) of sleep problems than men (19 percent), but for both sexes, for those who bear so much responsibility in the work, can badly off: “Four out of ten executives will work at night still on my mind,” the study authors note
It is also striking that gap in pay.. 2013 amounted therefore the earnings of men in management positions on an average of 5195 euros per month. Women brought there, however, only 4142 euros, mainly because the income opportunities are low in typically female professions. The differences are so shrunk significantly since 2000. Men are also more likely but rewarded through profit sharing or premiums. They moved so in addition on average 8724 euros per year, women 6617 Euro. The proportion of women in management positions in the private sector in Germany, however, has been increasing. It rose from 22 percent in 2000 to 29 percent in 2013. DIW expert Holst says succinctly: “Moving ahead, but it is relatively slow.”
