Young people's attitudes around gender equality have shifted — but not in the direction you might think.
A 2017 report from the Council on Contemporary Families found that young adults ages 18 to 25 have grown only slightly more supportive of gender equality in the home since the mid-70s and slightly less supportive since the mid-90s.
Consider: In 1977, approximately 45% of men ages 18 to 25 disagreed with the notion that the man should be the breadwinner and the woman should be the homemaker. In 1994, it was 83%. In 2014, only 55% disagreed.
Other reports suggest that millennial men do support gender equality in the home, but they have a hard time putting those beliefs into action. An article in The New York Times reads:
"Millennial men — ages 18 to early 30s — have much more egalitarian attitudes about family, career and gender roles inside marriage than generations before them, according to a variety of research by social scientists. Yet they struggle to achieve their goals once they start families, researchers say."
That's possibly because of a relative lack of family-friendly policies in the American workplace.
