Me to We Gender Equality Program–Care for Unpaid Caregivers



FEAZ has been promoting gender equality among its employees, and now, the plant is helping their families focus on this issue by exploring unpaid family caregiving on Mother’s Day. The plant conducted interviews and collected a total of 539 surveys identifying the time employees spent on unpaid caregiving and how such duties were shared among family members. Posters showing statistics and information on the matter from Taiwan and abroad were also distributed for outreach and to raise the awareness in hopes of encouraging an equal share of family responsibilities between male and female employees. The survey indicated that 94% of FEAZ employees found exploring unpaid caregiving to be beneficial for promoting gender equality within their families; over 50% believed that the outreach effort could contribute to changes in the share of unpaid care duties in their households.
