A report from the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) has ranked Ireland bottom of the list when it comes to the split of childcare and unpaid labour in the home.
The report, which looked at a worldwide childcare crisis, stated that the "crisis is leaving millions of children without the support they need, with damaging consequences for their future".
Among 37 countries studied, including Vietnam, Gaza, Mexico, India and Ethiopia, Ireland was rated as the most unequal, with the majority of unpaid domestic work being undertaken by women.
