It is estimated that it will take 92 years before gender equality is reached in the division of care labor, which includes doing childcare, eldercare, and housework. Inequality in who does care is associated with various detrimental outcomes, such as decreasing women’s career involvement and men’s involvement within the family. However, despite the importance of care, we know little about how individuals come to value and understand care labor.

Dr. Allegra Midgette is Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Texas A&M University. Dr. Midgette’s research is on moral development and education across cultures. She is currently conducting her Fulbright research fellowship at Tampere University. Dr. Midgette’s research investigates the origins and social processes that support individuals in developing an understanding of justice and learning how to care for others. Her work addresses two key questions: How do we come to care about each other? How do we become just in the face of inequality?
