In a recent report, it was found that the percentage of male caregivers for elderly family members is higher than expected, exceeding 45%. Various challenges and dilemmas faced by these male caregivers, such as balancing work and care responsibilities, strained relationships, and societal expectations, were highlighted. The shift towards more men taking on caregiving roles is attributed to changing social norms, increased education and financial independence of women, and the evolving dynamics within families. Recommendations include breaking traditional gender roles and seeking professional assistance to ensure self-care and well-being while fulfilling caregiving duties.
