abstract: 'The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected employment, particularly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for mothers. Many believe that the loss of childcare and homeschooling
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
requirements are key contributors to this trend, but previous work has
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
been unable to test these hypotheses due to data limitations. This study
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
uses novel data from 989 partnered, US parents to empirically examine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
whether the loss of childcare and new homeschooling demands are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with employment outcomes early in the pandemic. We also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consider whether the division of childcare prior to the pandemic is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with parents'' employment. For parents with young children,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the loss of full-time childcare was associated with an increased risk of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unemployment for mothers but not fathers. Yet, father involvement in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
childcare substantially buffered against negative employment outcomes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for mothers of young children. For parents with school-age children,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation in homeschooling was associated with adverse employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcomes for mothers but not fathers. Overall, this study provides
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
empirical support for the current discourse on gender differences in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment during the pandemic and also highlights the role fathers can
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
play in buffering against reduced labor force participation among
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mothers.'
