A new study by Dr. Clare Stovell (IOE, UCL 's Faculty of Education & Society ) highlights how a lack of discussion between parents about important choices such as parental leave, work and childcare is perpetuating traditional gender roles.

The study found that there are engrained and unquestioned expectations for fathers to work full-time, while mothers take on the primary caregiver role through long maternity leaves.
