Work-from-home during COVID-19: Accounting for the care economy to build back better

Fiona Jenkins et al.

Summary: In the COVID-19 pandemic, people's dwellings became a focal point for economic activities, yet policymakers and employers often overlooked the gendered relations, care work, and labor that take place within homes. Many assumed that working from home was a privilege offered by generous employers, neglecting the need to support workers' adaptive capabilities in the care economy. It is crucial to invest in infrastructure that can provide a more equitable basis for future resilience and acknowledge the role of homes as buffers and shelters for the economy.

COVID-19 and the gender gap in work hours

Caitlyn Collins et al.

Summary: School and day care closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic have increased caregiving responsibilities for working parents, leading many to change their work hours. Mothers with young children have reduced their work hours four to five times more than fathers, resulting in a 20-50% growth in the gender gap in work hours. This highlights the challenges posed to women's work hours and employment by the COVID-19 pandemic.
