Considering care work as the responsibility of both men and women shows which change?

Correct answer: Redistribution of gender roles

The direct answer is A: redistribution of gender roles. Care work includes household tasks and looking after children, sick people and older family members. Traditionally, societies often place most of this unpaid work on women. When both men and women accept responsibility, the sequence is clear: the task is no longer assigned by gender alone; duties are shared; women's unpaid burden can fall; men participate in family life; and equality increases. Option A is correct because it names this change in the division of responsibilities. Option B is wrong because including men does not exclude women. Option C is wrong because shared care is not the same as wage inequality. Option D is wrong because the change concerns gender roles, not age-based discrimination. Memory cue: both genders caring means gender roles are being redistributed.
