When do Men Care? Insights on Care, Crisis and Masculinities during COVID-19
This article examines whether the COVID-19 pandemic led to lasting changes in men’s participation in unpaid care. While men’s involvement increased during the pandemic, the shift was largely temporary, with women continuing to bear the majority of care responsibilities. The findings highlight the need for gender-inclusive care policies that promote men’s continuous involvement in care.

The Iceberg of Everyday Digital Identity
Digital identity is increasingly common for people to access public services, financial systems and everyday digital interactions. It is often linked to quicker processes, greater convenience and more efficient service delivery. At the same time, everyday experiences with digital identity can differ. While many interactions go smoothly, some users encounter issues such as authentication problems or difficulty recovering access. These moments may not always show up in headline results, but they influence how people perceive digital systems over time. The Iceberg of Everyday Digital Identity looks at how both visible benefits and less apparent experiences shape trust and long-term usability. Some users can resolve problems quickly, while others may encounter repeated barriers that affect their engagement with digital services. Paying attention to these daily experiences can help support digital identity systems that stay practical, inclusive and reliable for everyone.
