In this article, some of the most important findings of the European research project The Role of Men in Gender Equality (2011–2012) are discussed. This project was the first systematic research study of all European Union member states and associated European Free Trade Association states regarding men and gender equality in the fields of education and paid labor, the involvement of men in care and domestic work responsibilities, men’s health, gender-based violence, and men’s participation in gender equality policy. The main objective of the study was to gain better knowledge on the role and positioning of men concerning gender equality. A number of themes were emphasized. First, as the situation of men and women in societies is relational, the role of men cannot be understood, if the role of women is neglected. Second, a perspective on men as a heterogeneous social group was chosen in order to gain insights into men’s privileges as well as disadvantages according to class, ethnicity, disability, and other social indicators. This study shows that caring masculinity emerges as a central path forward, and one that is increasingly taken up in practice, together with women’s increasing education and professional role, and rising expectations of gender-balanced task divisions. But there is a need for further research on the complex relationship between caring masculinities and gender-equal roles, including marginalized and unemployed groups and men who turn their frustrations against gender equality and women’s new roles.

This article examines the question of what men win or lose by increased gender equality, in terms of well-being and health, combining a new macro data set with existing studies. A database was created for examining gender equality variables and potential health effects, using a sample of eighty-one European countries and the United States. The results indicate more positive effects for men than usually assumed. They also imply that men’s contribution to gender equality has been underestimated. Some patterns, like fertility, differ between Europe and the United States, and this article discusses different gender equality models. Also, the effects of gender equality differ for different groups of men, and this article discusses men who feel they “lose out.” Although the data concern associations, questions of causality are also raised, and the last part of this article presents a tentative explanatory model that includes structural factors as well as men and masculinity changes.
