Woman Up: From housework to keeping track of children's schedules, why is it still a woman's job to run a household?

The Government's White Paper on women's development, which was submitted to Parliament earlier this year, laid out various ways that public policy can and should be used to promote gender equality in Singapore. But policies can only go so far if mindsets don't change. In this four-part Woman Up series, TODAY takes a look at the ways in which societal biases and perceptions are still holding women back from true equality — and why it's a problem men should also care about. This is the first instalment, which looks at the role of women at home. 

• Studies have shown an increase of women in both the labour force as well as in corporate leadership
• But despite the progress made by women at work, they continue to do most of the work at home
• Experts said prevailing gender norms that still position women as being primarily responsible for housework and caregiving are harder to shake off
• Women need to "do less and talk more", and also give men space and opportunities to step up, say experts
