The traditional view is that childcare is ‘women’s work’ by encouraging men into the childcare sector challenges these prejudices and promotes equality in roles between men and women, both at home and in the early years environment.

In 2005, The Men in Childcare Pilot Project was carried out in order to introduce an innovative approach to gender mainstreaming at the early stages of a child’s life when attitudes to gender roles are being formed. The Project was developed to highlight the need to desegregate a gendered profession and was the first of its kind to be carried out in an Irish context.
