IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT FAMILY DYNAMICS ARE CHANGING.
MEN ARE SPENDING MORE TIME IN CHILD REARING, OR TAKING
CARE OF THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE.
AS A RESULT, THEY ARE ALSO FEELING THE PRESSURE WHEN
IT COMES TO A WORK LIFE BALANCE.
MODERN FAMILY'S INDEX DID A SURVEY, AND WHAT THEY FOUND WAS,
A LOT OF GUYS ARE ACTUALLY WILLING TO EITHER TAKE A PAY
CUT, OR WORK A LESS HECTIC JOB, JUST SO THAT THEY CAN SPEND
MORE TIME AT HOME WITH THEIR KIDS.
ACCORDING TO THE SURVEY,
"53% OF MILLENNIAL FATHERS TOLD THE RESEARCHERS THEY WANTED
TO MOVE TO A LESS STRESSFUL JOB, WHILE 48%
WOULD TAKE A PAY CUT TO ACHIEVE A BETTER WORKLIFE BALANCE."
THE NUMBERS ARE ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT WHEN
YOU LOOK AT THE GENERAL MALE POPULATION.
FOR INSTANCE, WHEN IT COMES TO ALL MEN ñ
IN THE UK, WHERE THEY SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ñ
THEY FOUND THAT ONE FIFTH OF FATHERS THAT THEIR EMPLOYER
WAS UNCIR PATHETIC ABOUT CHILD CARE, EXPECTING NO DECEPTION
TO WORK, WHILE 44% HAD LIED TO THEIR EMPLOYER ABOUT FAMILY
-RELATED RESPONSE ABILITIES THAT GET IN THE WAY OF WORK.
AND THEN IT TURNS OUT, IN TERMS OF WHAT MEN ARE WILLING TO DO,
WHEN IT COMES TO ALL GUYS FROM ACROSS THE BOARD, REGARDLESS OF
AGE, 47% WANT TO DOWNGRADE TO A LESS STRESSFUL JOB, AND A LESS ñ
AND LESS OF A PERCENTAGE ARE WILLING TO TAKE A PAY CUT.
MILLENNIAL MEN I GUESS ARE MORE LIKELY TO NOT BELIEVE IN GENDER
STEREOTYPES, AND GENDER ROLES, BUT EITHER WAY, I THINK THIS IS
GOOD NEWS, BECAUSE IT SHOWS THAT, HEY, IF MEN WANT TO
FOCUS ON HAVING MORE TIME IN THE HOUSE, THEN MAYBE EMPLOYERS
WILL BE MORE WILLING TO LISTEN TO THESE ISSUES.
WOMEN HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR A VERY LONG TIME, AND OBVIOUSLY
THERE HASN'T BEEN MUCH MOVEMENT IN TERMS OF GIVING A MORE
FLEXIBLE HOURS, OR PAID MATERNITY LEAVE, AND THINGS
LIKE THAT.
AND NOW IF IT'S MEN AND WOMEN, MAYBE EMPLOYERS WILL FEEL
THE PRESSURE TO CHANGE THINGS.
AND OF COURSE IT DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU ARE REFERRING TO,
BECAUSE THIS STUDY IS OUT OF THE UK, WHERE YOU AT LEAST GET
SOME MATERNITY LEAVE.
YOU DO.
HERE IN AMERICA THERE'S BEEN NO MOVEMENT AT ALL, SAD DAY FOR
YOU, YOU WERE BORN THE WRONG GENDER, WE'RE GONNA MAKE YOU
CARRY THE BABIES AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET ANY KIND OF HELP
FROM THE GOVERNMENT, OR IN TERMS OF THE LAWS AND PROTECTIONS,
ETC.
LET ME TOUCH ON THAT A LITTLE BIT.
EVEN THOUGH IN THE UK, MEN AND WOMEN DO THIS ñ CERTAIN
PROTECTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO TAKING TIME OFF TO SPEND TIME
WITH THEIR KIDS, INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, MEN WILL NOT TAKE THAT
TIME BECAUSE THEY ARE WORRIED THAT IT WILL NEGATIVELY EFFECT
THEIR CAREER; THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT SOME SORT OF
RETALIATION FROM THEIR EMPLOYER.
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT SERIOUS RETALIATION LIKE, YOU'RE
FIRED, BUT MAYBE YOU WILL GET THAT PROMOTION BECAUSE YOUR
EMPLOYER WILL BE LIKE, LOOK AT THE SKY, TAKING TIME OFF TO
BE WITH HIS KIDS?
I WANT TO GO GET HER DOESN'T HAVE A LIFE OUTSIDE OF WORK.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE ME.
THAT'S NOT LIKE YOU.
ONLY TWO ñ 8% OF FATHERS WOULD CONSIDER TAKING IT OFF IF THERE
WAS SHARED MATERNITY LEAVE.
VIDEO BUFFERING -
WE SHOULD BE WORRYING ABOUT, MAYBE SOME OF OUR BEST
TALENT WILL BE BUSY AT HOME INSTEAD OF WORKING.
WELL IT'S ACTUALLY THAT THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE CLEVER AND
SMART AND LOVE THEIR JOB AND HAVE GREAT LIVES WILL MISS
OUT ON BEING PARENTS, AND WE WILL MISS OUT ON THAT
GENERATION OF CHILDREN BECOMING TAXPAYERS.
THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS GOING TO AFFECT US NOT RIGHT NOW, BUT
IN 40 YEARS, WHEN WE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH NO GROWTH.
YOU'VE WRITTEN ABOUT THIS ANA, THE REAL REASON YOU'RE NOT
HAVING CHILDREN ñ
NOT YET AT LEAST ñ
NOT YET, IT'S A IT WOULD DESTROY YOUR FINANCIAL AND MENTAL
STABILITY.
YEAH, AND NOT ONLY THAT, THE SUGGESTION TO COMBAT THESE
ISSUES WERE INTERESTING TO ME, BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT
MATERNITY LEAVE.
LIKE, I KNOW CENK, AND I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE A STRICT POLICY ON
ANYTHING HERE, I KNOW IF WE GOT MATERNITY LEAVE I WOULD GET IT,
BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT.
IT'S ABOUT SPENDING CONSIDERABLE TIME WITH MY KID EVERY DAY
INSTEAD OF WORKING UNTIL SIX OR 7 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT,
COMING HOME, MAYBE BATHING HIM OR HER AND THEN PUTTING
THEM TO BED.
AND THE NANNY IS TAKEN CARE OF THAN THE REST OF THE TIME.
I DON'T WANT THAT.
AND IN THIS CASE, THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING, MAYBE THERE NEEDS TO
BE MORE OF A FOCUS ON LESSER HOURS, BUT MAYBE MORE
FLEXIBILITY WHERE PEOPLE CAN WORK FROM HOME.
SO I DON'T KNOW, I THINK THE QUESTIONS ARE INTERESTING.
I THINK THIS IS A REALLY HARD ISSUE.
THE CORPORATIONS ARE IN CHARGE.
YOU'LL MISS OUT WITH THE BEST WORKERS START PEOPLE ñ
PLEASE LET US HAVE SOME TIME WITH OUR KIDS.
AND YOU ARE DEFINITELY RIGHT, THERE IS A CULTURAL DIVIDE.
I'M NOT A MILLENNIAL, SO FOR ALL GUYS, NOT ONLY WILL GUYS AS
YOU SAID, I THIRD SAID THEY WILL TAKE A PAY CUT TO SPEND
MORE TIME WITH THEIR KIDS.
2/3 OF US ARE LIKE, NAH, NO PAY CUT, KEEP GOING.
AND I'M OF THE MINDSET OF, LIKE, YOU'VE GOT TO WORK AS HARD
AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN, AND YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP GOING.
AT THE SAME TIME, I'M THE EMPLOYER HERE, SO I'M IN A
UNIQUE SITUATION.
SO, IF SOMEBODY NEEDS TIME OFF, NOT JUST IF THEY ARE A
WOMAN, BUT A GUY WHO WORKS AT THE CUSSETA BABY, WE GIVE
THEM TIME OFF.
BUT THEN I MARK THEM DOWN FOR IT.
AND THAT THEY GET PENALIZED.
NO, I'M GETTING.
WE REALIZE THAT YOU'VE GOT TO BE HUMAN.
TO JAYDE'S POINT, WE ARE LOSING TRACK OF, WHY ARE WE
LIVING, WHY ARE WE WORKING?
I ASK MYSELF THAT ALL THE TIME, BECAUSE I DO WORK 15 ñ 16
HOURS A DAY.
TO ME IT'S A QUESTION OF FULFILLMENT.
AT THE SAME TIME, I TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M HOME BETWEEN 630
AND 830 TO MAKE SURE I EAT DINNER WITH MY KIDS, TELL THEM A
STORY EVERY NIGHT AND MAKE THAT WORK SOMEHOW.
BUT WE DO DRIVE EACH OTHER CRAZY BY BEING ON THIS TREADMILL
THAT NEVER ENDS.
BUT THERE ARE NO EASY ANSWERS.
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU WANT THE EMPLOYERS TO BE ABLE TO
SAY, WORK 30 HOURS, OR TAKE TIME OFF AND HAVE A KID AND WE
WON'T JUDGE YOU FOR IT.
EVEN IF WE DON'T, A LOT OF THEM WILL.
OF COURSE, OF COURSE THEY WILL.
AND THAT JUDGMENT HAS EXISTED FOR A VERY LONG TIME FOR
FEMALE EMPLOYEES, AND NOW IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE THE BURDEN
OF FINDING THAT BALANCE IS NOW SHIFTING TO MEN AND WOMEN.
SO I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE IF IT AFFECTS THE GENERAL POPULATION,
THERE WILL BE MORE OF A PUSH TO CHANGE THINGS, BUT WE'LL SEE.
WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES.
AND CAN I JUST SAY FINALLY, THE FACT THAT MORE MILLENNIAL
GUYS WANT TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH THEIR KIDS, AND WILL
SACRIFICE THE PAY TO DO IT, I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING.
AND I'M A WORKAHOLIC SO IT'S NOT LIKE I'M THINKING, LET'S
TAKE A LOAD OFF, BUT YOU DO HAVE TO HAVE A GOOD WORKLIFE
BALANCE, AND YOUR KIDS ARE SUPER IMPORTANT.
SO IF THE NEW GENERATION IS INSISTING ON SPENDING TIME
WITH THEM, THAT'S GOT TO BE GOOD.
