Such work needs to be constantly disseminated. Hopefully there will be more and more as the "Equlity Duty" means more data is disagregated. It is interesting that Trevor Philips positions come out of much of this "new" research which often shows quite different pictures to those from "advocacy" research in the past that only focusses on women. Men need to take an interest now that more and more data is available. Public health is a very good example where data is now very clearly available showing men's far from privileged position with regard to many illnesses and risks.

An interesting article (in a number of papers). Of course the headline is that mother's "unpaid" work is worth £33,000 pa. However in the body of the text it notes father's "unpaid" work is worth £23,000 pa. So given the fact that Fathers do much more paid work it actually all looks fairly OK.
