If men are not given care leave, what effect can it have on women work?

Correct answer: Care responsibility may remain more on women

The direct answer is B: care responsibility may remain more on women. Care leave allows a worker to look after a child, sick family member or another dependent person. If men are not given such leave, families and workplaces may assume that women must take the time away from work whenever care is needed. This can increase women's unpaid burden, interrupt their careers and strengthen the stereotype that care is women's duty. Option A is wrong because the absence of men's leave does not reduce women's care work. Option B is correct because responsibility is likely to remain unequal. Option C is wrong because not giving men leave does not end their workload. Option D is wrong because inequality does not disappear immediately; it may become stronger. The reasoning is: care need arises; men have no leave; women are more likely to provide the care; unequal responsibility continues. Memory cue: care leave should support shared care, not label care as women's work.
