Abiodun Musbau Lawal et al.

Summary: We examined the impact of gender, marital status, ethnicity, religion, education, and employment status on mental health indicators during the COVID-19 lockdown in Nigeria. Married individuals and Christians reported better mental health, while the Yoruba ethnic group demonstrated better coping skills and higher self-esteem. Postgraduate degree holders and self-employed respondents had better mental health, while individuals with secondary education and the unemployed experienced higher levels of stress and lower self-esteem. Marital status and employment status directly and interactively affected overall mental health. Officially employed individuals reported higher self-esteem and lower stress levels. No gender differences were observed in mental health indicators.

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.
